Gean (the wild cherry in Scots) is a fun and quick summer knit, featuring lace leaves growing up the side of the foot from toe to cuff. Knit from the toe up with a gusset and heel flap and flexible length fitting on the foot, these socks are a great knit for everyone!

The pattern is fully written with charts for the lace and has been tech-edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the knitting pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. You will also need to know how to do a double sided cast-on like Judy’s Magic Cast-On and a stretchy bind-off like Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off.
