The Phoenix socks are knit in the round, from the cuff down, with a reinforced heel and a rounded toe. The leg and the top of the foot are adorned by a graphic and elegant lace pattern, which reminds me of a rising phoenix.
(The instructions for the lace pattern are charted only. Please note that for the leg section, it’s not possible to work both socks together on the same needle.)
