Have you ever knit socks cuff-down for a long time, and then when you go to knit socks toe-up you automatically find yourself knitting the instep pattern on the sole of the sock? No? Well, that’s me and I know I’m not alone.

The foot of this sock is intentionally left in stockinette, until you get to the leg portion which brings in the simple, spiralling lace stitches. Enjoy!

Update 6/1/2015: A chart has been added to the pattern!
