Adorned with pearls and lacy A’s, these soft, warm socks would surely soothe Hester’s heart.

Other Materials
100 6mm pearl beads
Beading needle

Please Note:
Beads are strung onto yarn before casting on and moved into place as you knit.

The ruffle edge at the top of the socks is knit flat and then seamed, and the stitches for the leg are picked up and knit down from the bottom edge.

The lace repeat for the cuff is written, the lace pattern for the leg is both written and charted.
