A potato-chippy knit with cozy texture and plenty of charm.

The Lacebark Socks are DK-weight, cuff-down socks featuring a rhythmic mock cable motif that’s both easy to memorise and irresistibly addictive—just one more row!

Knit using the Magic Loop method, they include a slipped stitch heel flap, smooth short-row heel turn, and an adjustable foot length. With three size options based on foot circumference—and more possible by adjusting your needle size—these socks are perfect for mindful makers, gift knitters, and anyone who loves a project that flies off the needles.

Whether worked in tweeds, tonals, or solids, the Lacebark Socks showcase texture beautifully and offer a satisfying blend of simplicity and polish.
