The Purple Sage Socks (both versions) incorporate a variation on the Twin Leaves pattern found in my book. For this one, I scaled down the leaves to make a perfectly sized panel for socks. There’s a plain version with ribbing between the leaf panel and also a version with lace ribbing. My favorite part of these is the transition between foot and leg patterning. A traveling mini cable crosses above the heel and opens up into the back leaf lace panel.
