Va'Na Socks
Introducing our stunning Lace-Up Socks, a unique knitting pattern that combines elegance with innovative design. Featuring a beautiful lace panel, these socks sport an unusual construction technique that begins with knitting flat until the heel flap, then joining the work before continuing as a standard top-down sock. This intricate pattern adds a charming flair to your sock collection, making it perfect for gifting or personal use.
**Availability:** This exclusive sock pattern is available only to the Sock Club until September 2014. Don’t miss your chance to create these fashionable lace socks!
**Skill Level:** This pattern is designed for intermediate to advanced knitters. The combination of the unique construction method and the lace panel requires a good understanding of knitting techniques, making this an exciting challenge for seasoned crafters.
**Yarn Recommendations:** For the best results, I strongly recommend using a solid or nearly solid color yarn. Variegated or heavily tonal yarns can detract from the intricate lace details you want to showcase. Consider selecting tonal yarns with minimal contrast between the hues to keep the focus on the beautiful lace design.
**Yardage Requirements:**
This pattern includes three sizes, each with two leg options to tailor to your preference, which can complicate yarn requirements.
- For the mid-calf version, you will need approximately **320-360 yards** of yarn.
- For the knee-high version, plan for **500-600 yards** of yarn to ensure you have enough for this taller design.
**Additional Notions:** To complete your Lace-Up Socks, you’ll also need some ribbon. For the mid-calf version, **2 yards (or 2 meters)** will suffice—approximately one yard/meter per sock. This detail will add an extra touch of elegance and style to your finished socks.
Whether you’re looking to enhance your own wardrobe or create a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these Lace-Up Socks are sure to impress. Grab your needles and join our Sock Club to start your knitting journey today!
