Pattern description from book:
This beautiful diamond lace pattern has a rolled cuff and ribbed ankle, which makes it an excellent choice for working with less-elastic yarns, such as cotton and linen blends, because the ribbed ankle supports the sock leg comfortably. Its biggest challenge is the occasional yarn over at the beginning and end of a row. Make sure you count your stitches regularly to avoid losing any and having to unknit rows.
