A recipe for lacy toe-up socks

With an easy and easy to remember lace pattern, these socks are a pleasure to knit.

Done in warm tonal yarns, they will remind you of autumn fires. The pair in the pattern pics has been done with Solstice Yarn’s delightful Poseidon sock yarn.

This is not a whole sock pattern, but rather a recipe to be supplemented with your favourite toe and heel. I prefer using short-row toe and heel constructions. A fabulous one can be bought on Ravelry for US $ 1.00 from the Sox Therapist:

This is a recipe for making socks which requires some knowledge on sock construction and your preferred sizing.
Some hints on sizing are given, based on my gauge and sock size.

The recipe gives hints and additional information that can be ignored if you use a different toe and / or heel construction or do not need a mini-gusset with the FLK heel.
