Turquoise Stream

This is a top-down, lacy, shortie sock with a garter-edge, traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel.

I love shortie socks in the spring and summer and when I saw this yarn, I knew it would be perfect for a streamy lace flowing down the foot.
