Yvonne

Why should lace patterns be exclusively created with lace or fingering weight yarns? While traditional wisdom may suggest that lighter weights are ideal, I believe thicker yarns, such as DK weight, can create stunning lace designs as well. One of my favorite outcomes from this exploration is the "Yvonne" sock pattern. These airy and stylish socks, worked from the cuff down to the toe, are perfect for warmer weather, offering both comfort and a touch of elegance.

The Yvonne socks feature a unique lace texture that stands out beautifully in DK weight yarn, proving that you don’t have to stick to convention when it comes to knitting lace. If you're looking to add a delightful twist to your sock collection, this pattern will guide you through creating a pair that’s visually striking while remaining lightweight enough for spring and summer wear.

**Gauge:** For the Yvonne socks, maintain a gauge of 28 stitches and 40 rounds over Stocking stitch, which equates to 10 cm / 4” using size 3mm / US 2.5 needles. This ensures your socks will fit perfectly and showcase the lace pattern beautifully.
