Nemesis socks
Lacy and pink, the Nemesis socks are as unassuming as Miss Marple, herself. They are knit cuff down with all-over twisted stitches and an addicting lace pattern that alternates between columns of ribs. A slip stitch heel flap and gusset, and a wedge toe make these a classic, and will ensure these socks will see you through even the toughest days of sleuthing.
Yarn
Quince and Co. Finch, 2 skeins in the “Shell” colorway

Either a long circular needle for magic loop, a set of double pointed needles, or an small circumference circular needle will work with this pattern.
