P is her parasol, all trimmed with lace

One of my favorite childhood books was “A is for Annabelle” by Tasha Tudor. As my mom would read the simple alphabet book over and over, I remember wishing that my grandmother had such an elegant doll with all of her fascinating accessories.

This sock pattern is was designed in reference to the part of book which talks about the doll’s parasol that is trimmed with lace. All Trimmed with Lace is knit toe-up with a parasol lace stitch pattern that runs up the front of the sock. The back is trimmed with your choice of lace hearts or flowers. Why two options for the back? Originally just the hearts were planned – and it turned out perfectly. Then I thought about how fun these socks would be as scrappy socks with a different color of yarn for each parasol – it only made sense that the back lace panel would not be disrupted by the changes in yarn color so I needed a lace pattern that would match the row count of the parasols. Both options were a good fit, so I made them both available to you.

This is the second pattern in a four pattern collection that will feature whimsical designs based on the book “A is for Annabelle.” These designs will be incorporate both cables and lace in fun and interesting ways.

This pattern is written in sizes XS, S, M, L and XL to fit a foot circumference of approximately 7.5”, 8”, 8.5”, 9” and 9.25” (19, 20.5, 21.5, 22.5, 23.5 cm). The pattern is written for 56, 60 ,64, 68 and 72 sts.

The pattern was written for a sock set, to use a contrast color for the cuffs, heels and toes; however this pattern is also the perfect canvas for a pair of scrappy socks.
