Knit in fingering/sock weight yarn, these lightweight socks feature a soft, flowing lace panel that travels along the top of the foot and leg.

Worked toe-up using a Turkish cast on and magic loop, the socks are shaped with a Fleegle heel for a smooth, comfortable fit without picking up stitches. The lace pattern is repetitive and easy to memorize, creating a delicate vine-like texture that adds visual interest while keeping the knitting relaxed and approachable.
