Shorty Lace Socks
Materials needed
4ply or fingering weight yarn in two colours. A variegated (75grams) and a solid (30 grams) are recommended.
2.25-2.50 circular sock needles or DPN’s
Darning needle.
Method
Knitting in the round with circular needles, primarily only on the knit side, apart from at the heel flap where there are some knits and purls on both sides of the work. You are recommended to use two yarns. The first part of the sock from the toe up to the start of the pattern is Yarn A.
The pattern is knit using a solid yarn which can be a sock yarn or just a wool or alpaca yarn. I used a wool mix here but you can use any as the pattern is not in a hard wearing area hence alternative scraps from your stash can be used. This is Yarn B.
Tension
Plain Knitting – approx: 10cm= 36 stitches, 10cm = 50 rows
FYI - The tension for the lace area will be looser.
