Limeade features an easy to memorize lace pattern that is worked from the toe-up with a slip-stitch gusset heel.

Limeade got its name because when I was knitting them up, all I could think was that the color of the yarn reminded me of limes. Calling them lime socks wouldn’t do so I thought limeade would be a perfect for a lacy summery sock.
