These socks are a small reminder of simple joys. They combine coral, one of my favorite colors, and a simple lace stitch. The toe-up with a flap on-the-bottom and gusset heel provide cushioning for busy heels. The ribbing on the heel and Old Shale Variation hug the curves. This pattern is written for experienced sock knitters using the magic loop method.
