When I was younger I used to enjoy testing my wits against the puzzles in the Encyclopedia Brown stories by Donald Sobol. Sally Kimball, Encyclopedia’s bodyguard and partner in his detective agency, was “the prettiest girl in the fifth grade and the best athlete.” The lace and cable pattern on these socks reminds me of Sally because it’s both pretty and strong enough to stand up to some variegation.
The pattern assumes familiarity with lace and cable knitting and basic cuff-down sock construction techniques. The lace and cable pattern is currently provided only in charted form.
The pattern uses fingering weight sock yarn at a gauge of 16 stitches and 22 rounds = 2 inches in stockinette stitch, and you'll want to have 100 g.
Four sizes are included:
Extra Small (60 stitches)
Small (64 stitches)
Medium (68 stitches)
Large (72 stitches)
These fit a bit tighter than stockinette socks with the same stitch count.
