Top-down reverse stocking stitch socks with lace panel and short-row heel and toe.

In the 2008 Stitch’n Bitch calendar version of this pattern it calls for a gauge of 32 sts per inch! 8 sts per inch would be more appropriate.

(Or use the version linked to from here, where you can calculate your own number of stitches based on your gauge and foot size.)

Designer’s Note:
I know some people have had problems getting the lace panel symmetrical. I’ve been having a play - you can see what I think gives the best results here
