Avela Socks combine light lace texture with playful colour stripes, creating a pair that feels both delicate and relaxed.

The pattern is perfect for using partial skeins and for mixing colours creatively. Available in Finnish, English, and Swedish.

Avela Socks bring together the softness of lace and the rhythm of bold stripes. They are designed to be enjoyable, even suitable for those beginning their journey into lace knitting, whilst also allowing you to use up partial skeins from your stash.

The socks are worked top-down, feature a reinforced heel flap, traditional heel turn, gusset decreases, and a comfortable wide band toe.

The lace motif uses simple yarn overs and decreases, making it suitable even for knitters who are newer to lace.

The length is easy to customise by adjusting the foot chart or adding extra rounds before the toe.

The pattern includes:

✔ Fully written instructions
✔ Clear charts for both leg and foot
✔ Colour-change tips for smooth stripe transitions
✔ Three separate PDF files: Finnish, English, Swedish
