The Dainty Eyelet Socks are basic crew socks with a delicate twist. They pair perfectly with mary janes, loafers, and flats of all kinds, adding a subtle feminine flair to your look.

The socks are knit cuff down using the magic loop technique and feature a picot-edge cuff, a simple lace stitch pattern, and a German short-row heel (although you certainly can swap that out for your preferred heel method). The pattern is suitable for adventurous beginners.
