Little lacy paw-prints track up the front and back of these toe-up socks, between ribbed panels.
Made in 4 ply fingering, they start with a provisional cast-on to work the toe in simplified 2 needle short rows, before continuing with 4 dpns or 2 circulars. The heel flap is done in a slip stitch pattern to give cushioned comfort and a better shape.

Dogs, cats, panthers - I don’t know who these paw-prints belong to…
