Wisp Socks
Light, airy, and delightfully wispy! Knit up these super simple lace socks for a chic and cool summer look! Featuring a 7-stitch simple repeating lace stitch, this pattern draws inspiration from traditional Japanese lace techniques and my joyfully blooming anemones this spring. The finished stitch showcases a stunning wow factor, while the straightforward design allows you to work on these socks anytime and anywhere with ease.
**FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** Foot circumference: 8 (7, 7.25, 9, 10) inches. Leg length: 8.5 inches. Foot length: adjustable to fit. This pattern is designed with a built-in 10% negative ease to accommodate standard foot circumferences, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
**NOTIONS REQUIRED:** To complete this project, you will need progress keepers (such as lobster clasp or pin-able markers), stitch markers, a Cable Needle (CN), a darning needle, and some waste yarn for finishing touches.
**GAUGE:** The gauge for this pattern is 32 stitches and 40 rows per 4 inches of stockinette stitch, ensuring that your socks come out perfectly every time.
This lace sock pattern includes a gusset in the heel, making it an ideal choice for those with high insteps and larger heels. If you have a shorter heel and often find that socks become loose or sloshy in that area, you might consider reducing the number of gusset rows or even eliminating the gusset entirely to create a straightforward heel design.
Worried about finishing? Don’t be! This pattern comes with complete, easy-to-follow instructions for kitchener grafting, guiding you through the seamless process of closing up your socks beautifully.
Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, these lace socks are not only practical but also a stunning accessory to elevate your summer wardrobe. Embrace the art of knitting with this elegant pattern that combines beauty and simplicity.
