Meadow Socks

Description

Meadows, these open areas where native plants are freely growing under the sun, are inspiring in their natural simplicity. These socks are like a meadow, covered with unpretentious little flowers. They are arranged in tightly bound columns that creates a lovely open texture. These socks are worked from the cuff down, allowing the knitter to knit short cuffs for summer-perfect sockettes, or longer ones for an all-year garment.

Construction
These socks are worked in the round from the cuff down, starting with a short ribbing section followed by the leg with texture all around. The top stitches are placed on hold and a square heel is then worked flat. The stitches on hold and stitches along the edges are then picked up and worked in the round, while the lace pattern resumes over the sock. The foot is then worked, followed by the toes, which are grafted together to close the sock.
