Short with ruffles, or longer without, these simple lace socks are comfortable to wear, fun and easy to knit, and combine the sensibleness of toe up with the unalloyed joy of creating heel flaps.

The simple lace pattern is easy to accomplish and looks good. The lace pattern would equally well with a single color, tonal, or multi-color yarn. This pattern includes directions for both dressy ankle socks and the more elegant longer socks. This pattern is for a beginner or an experienced sock knitter.
