Description

The Cirrocumulus Socks are short and light, with a neat picot edge and a simple lace panel on the front. They’re knit from the cuff down, starting with a folded hem that gives a clean, finished look right from the start. The pattern includes four stitch counts — 50, 60, 70 and 80 stitches — so you can choose the size that works best for you.

The lace pattern is intuitive and easy to memorize, making these socks great for relaxed knitting sessions. Plus, you’ll find video tutorials for each step, from the cast-on to the final toe graft.

There’s no fixed gauge — just pick the stitch count that matches your yarn and knitting style. The pattern includes clear charts and color-coded instructions.

This pattern is written for circular needles (magic loop method) and doesn’t include stitch arrangement for double-pointed needles (DPNs).
