Summer Vine Socks

Originally published in Knit Now magazine the Summer Vine socks were inspired by fresh green vines of twisting ivy cascading down a garden fence. I wanted the pattern to capture the essence of a blooming summer garden with trails of airy delicate lace.

The Summer Vine socks are worked from the top down, starting with a ribbed cuff. Then you will work the cascading lace pattern down the leg of the sock. The heel is worked as a heel flap with the pretty Eye of Partridge slip stitch pattern, and a gusset is worked for a nice comfortable fit.

Then it’s back to working in the round, continuing with the trailing leaf pattern which closes as a single lace leaf at the toe.

The pattern is written for 3 adult sizes and video tutorials are provided for the stitches and techniques used to make the socks.
