These simple yet elegant lace socks are fun to knit and are worked toe up with upside-down heel flap and standard gusset. The back of the heel is reinforced with a slip stitch section to hug the back of the ankle. This pattern is written in four adult sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.

Beware, this “gnome hats” stitch pattern is addictive!

This pattern is written with negative ease in the width. The lace will open up during blocking and on your feet!

Skills required to knit this pattern:
★ Knit and purl
★ Left and right leaning decreases
★ Simple lace
★ Double central decrease (explained in legend)
★ Pick up stitches along selvedge edge
★ Read knitting charts
