Why use only lace or fingering weight yarns for lace patterns?
In my opinion, lace patterns look even better when worked with thicker yarns, for example in DK weight.
Yvonne is one outcome of my explorations with thicker yarn and lace pattern combinations.
These airy socks are knitted from the cuff down to the toe and suitable for warmer weather.
