The Sakura Socks were originally designed for The Crochet Accessories Club and are now available as an individual PDF download. These top-down socks combine classic construction with a romantic, lacy stitch pattern that is as fun to make as it is to wear.

Design Features

Heel & Toe: Features a traditional heel flap, a turned heel, and a gusset for an anatomical fit. The toe is worked in continuous rounds and finished with a neat seam.
