Simply Lovely Lace Socks

Simple ribbed lace pattern that's easy to memorise and knit. The pattern has been written for sportweight and sock weight yarn. Another winner from the Interweave.

The funny thing about these socks, Joy finished a pair in this same colourway and posted about it, on the same day that I visited the Knitting Corner in Huntington, L.I. and bought myself a skein.

The socks are actually for my sister, who rarely asks me to make anything for her, but I think that she too liked the plumicious colourway.


The Gems Louet Merino used in the original pattern is the same weight, meterage and twist, dare I suggest that the yarns might be the same?

Project Notes

1. I made a few minor changes to the pattern, I cast on an additional 6 stitches (extra repeat), for a total of 54 stitches. The foot was done on 52 stitches. The leg worked out to be 4.5 inches. I also used a tubular cast-on, cause I thought that it would like nicer.

2. There wasn't a lot of yarn left when I was done, about 4 meters, which I had skeined up for the photo shoot. Pity about the pooling on the foot.


Here's the artistic pose on my feet.

I knit them once it worked, so I knit them again.
