Pretty picot lace edging adorns these comfy socks, which are worked in soft washable wool. The sock features an easy afterthought heel and the single and double crochet stitches used for the leg and foot provide interest, making this a beautiful and quick project to make. Not feeling like lace? You can crochet these socks without working the lace edge for a simpler style.

Due to stitch structure, leg has approx 2” of stretch.*
