Pre-order the book at Laine stockists worldwide

Simple yet with dainty details, classic and
timeless. The front scoops around the toes
in a ballet slipper shape and the ribbed front
lets the sock conform to your foot while
providing textural interest. The lovely fold-
over picot cuff makes you feel elegant as
you gracefully prance around “En Avant”.

En Avant socks are worked from the toe up, in the
round, seamlessly. An easy stitch pattern is first
worked to shape the toe. The heel is shaped using
the Fleegle Heel method.

Finished measurements
The ribbed stitch at the front of the foot and leg
make the sock quite stretchy, so the width in sizing
is a bit flexible. If you would like tightly fitted socks,
do not stretch them width-wise while blocking.
