Delicate lace adorns this pretty sock which is easy to memorise and great for picking up and putting down. With ribbing built into the sock, this cuffless design beings almost from the very top of creating a different look.

Sample shown used Truly Hooked Standard sock in OOAK
Any sock yarn is suitable for this pattern. Choose wool fibres for stetch and comfort. I deally your yarn should also include nylon for strenght and durabilty. Avoid slippy fibres and select solid or tonal colours so the colourwork pattern shows up. Take a black and white photograph of your chosen yarns, this will show if the contrast is stromg enough between them.
Your fabric should be firm,with a little give. Socks should fell 'bandage tight' when first put on, and will relax with wear, like your favourite pair of jeans.
