THE MICRO SOCKS:
These socks are knit in the round using a single strand of fingering-weight yarn. The pattern includes two lace options (Heart and Star) and two sock styles (Arch Socks, which sit snugly around the arch, and Thong Socks, which feature an added toe strap between the big and second toes).
