Tulip Road Socks are delicate, lacy socks, perfect for warmer days! They feature a floral lace pattern that flows neatly into a twisted-rib cuff and is inspired by the first flowers poking out of the earth in early spring.

Construction:
These socks are worked in the round from the toe up with short row heels. The pattern is written to be knitted on long circular needles, using Magic Loop method: the top of the foot (instep) is worked across the first needle and the sole is worked across the second needle. If you prefer to use DPNs or a small circular needle, work the instep stitches across the first two needles, and the sole stitches across the third and fourth needle.
