Prude is a cute lace sock. The top section swirls around creating swoopy feel. It reminds me of a victorian lace stocking.

The foot section has a simple lace panel that adds a bit of interest. The toe is slightly rounded for comfort. This is a fairly quick project knit on size 3 (3.25) double pointed needles. Great for a beginner lace knitter as the main stitches needed are - k2tog, ssk, yo, knit and purl.

Both lace patterns are easy to control and are fun to knit.

Sizes are as follows -adult
small – 7inch (17.8 cm)width
medium – 9.5 inch (24.1 cm) width
large – 12 inch (30.5 cm) width

There are only written instructions for this pattern as both laces are only 4 rows each and are pretty easy to keep track of.
