Spring in France socks (with a short & long cuff)
Do you also love those delicate lace-like stitches for spring socks? They give me such a wonderful holiday feeling. And since our vacations often take us to France, finding a name for these spring socks was easy. The pattern may look complicated, but it’s actually quite easy because you only need to pay attention in 2 out of the 4 rounds of the chart. The remaining rounds are simply in knit stitch. While knitting, I couldn’t decide between a green and a lilac yarn, so I decided to include two versions of the sock in this pattern book. One version with a long cuff for those cooler spring days, and a shortie version (with a cute picot edge) that you can continue wearing straight into the summer season.

The instructions in this booklet are combined in three languages under one heading and marked with colors: (Dutch), (English), and (German). Since the instructions for knitting the heel and toe are a bit more detailed, I’ve created a separate heading for each language there. It’s self-explanatory. I wish you lots of knitting fun!
