Fairytale Anklets are elegant ankle socks with a sparkling twist — a graceful lace cuff highlighted by shimmering 4mm Magatama beads. Feminine, eye-catching, and delightfully different from an ordinary sock, they make the perfect project for knitters who want something special on their needles.

The beads are placed in a simple, rhythmic pattern that is easy to master, while the rest of the sock moves along comfortably in smooth knitting with a cozy short-row garter-stitch heel. The result is a sock that looks intricate and luxurious, yet is thoroughly wearable.
The sample shown was knit in soft, springy HiKoo CoBaSi.

If you’re ready for a sock that is pretty, polished, and just a little magical, Fairytale Anklets is ready for you.
