Latinka Adult and Child Sock

designed by Mici Harangozó

You get both Adult and Child Size patterns for the one price!

Latinka was inspired by my daughter, who is at the age of starting to dress very girly.

She likes everything lacy and princess-like. I wanted to design a pair of socks for her that fits this princess style.

Latinka is worked from the toe up, featuring a wedge toe, and a round heel. There is a lace panel running up the outer sides of the socks, half of which starts at the toe, and the other half at the heel flap. The two halves join at the leg and continue up to the cuff.
