Stonecrop Socks employ an elegant lace pattern that is less challenging to knit than it appears from the final product! The name is derived from the stonecrop family of succulents as the lace pattern is reminiscent of the leaves of these beautiful plants.

This pattern is written for the magic loop technique, but you can easily substitute for double-pointed needles if you prefer. They are knit one at a time from the top down and use a short-row/mitered heel and a standard toe, but you can also substitute for your favorite heel and toe with a bit of manipulation.

For this pattern, you should be comfortable knitting in the round. Some skills you may need for this pattern include the long tail cast on, magic loop, Wrap & Turn, and Kitchener Stitch as well as a basic familiarity with lace knitting. If you find yourself unfamiliar with any terms or methods in this pattern, I suggest searching for them on YouTube.
