I wanted to design a fairly simple pair of kilt hose using horseshoe lace for the tops (it’s a favorite) to include in the Happy Trails socks book, I like the way these turned out, I was a little worried the lace may look too ‘girlie’ but it’s nice & solid and I just couldn’t do the ‘Happy Trails Socks Book’ without it!

Happy Trails Socks was a booklet available from the , Wooly West.. The book is now out of print
