Litha
This pattern can be found in issue 11 of Laine Magazine.
These socks are worked from the toe up using the Magic Loop method, with a special short row heel Christelle invented. The wheat ear pattern runs gracefully along the foot and leg of the sock. Two simple lace panels on each side make the pattern easily adjustable for different sizes. Use solid or semi-solid fingering-weight sock yarn in a light earthly color. The pattern needs a good blocking to fully reveal itself.
