The Quietstep Socks are a gentle lace design inspired by drifting leaves and the hush of autumn days. Catch them in the light and the motif shifts—sometimes a maple leaf, sometimes a small acorn.

Worked cuff down with an Eye of Partridge heel, double gusset and wedge toe, they’re both comfortable to wear and soothing to knit.
The lace pattern offers just enough texture to keep your hands engaged, while still being welcoming for newer sock knitters.

Graded for five sizes and filled with helpful tips, the pattern makes it easy to create a pair that fits perfectly—your own quiet step into autumn.
