The Aurelyn Socks evoke wood elves and drifting autumn leaves. The lace pattern looks intricate, but it’s built from just yarn overs, k2tog, ssk, and knit stitches — simple techniques that create an elegant shifting design.
Written for both toe-up and cuff-down construction, these socks let you knit in the style you prefer. The result is a pair that gives maximum impact from simple techniques.
