Light, lacy, and ready for summer adventures—Snapdragons Socks are your perfect travel companion. Inspired by one of our favorite cottage garden blooms, these delicate shortie socks feature a simple, meditative lace motif and tidy twisted ribbing that mimics flower stems and stacked blossoms. Knit in fingering-weight yarn, they’re both breathable and beautiful, ideal for tucking into your project bag on your next getaway.

This updated version includes:

• Separate Cuff-Down and Toe-Up instructions, each laid out on their own pages for easier navigation.
• A new size chart and schematic to help you confidently customize your fit.
• Three adult sizes with stretch and flexibility built in.
• Handy links to tutorials, fit guidance, and tester project inspiration—all in one tidy reference page on my website.

Whether you’re knitting poolside or stitching between sightseeing stops, you’ll love how portable, pretty, and peaceful these socks are to make.
