A modern take on the classic Old Shale pattern, Michelle may look the delicate beauty - but is in fact a quick and unfussy knit.

Easy lace repeats intergrade elegantly into the top-down sock construction with short row heels and toes.

The ripple effect of the pattern flatters the wearer, and suits both solid and variegated yarns.

Note that the nature of this pattern calls for a fixed number of cast-on stitches. Fit can be adjusted by varying needle diameter and yarn weight. A sizing guide to assist with this is provided in the pattern.
