When designing these socks I had in mind those vintage outfits with boots and lace socks peeking out from the collar.
These are cuff-down knitted socks with a turned heel. The lace pattern embellishes the cuff and the top of the leg. So they are elegant but (still) easy to knit. For these socks, I used luxurious merino, cashmere and nylon blend yarn. It just feels so uplifting wearing them.
