These pretty socks were inspired by the first snowfall of winter. The cuff features a decorative edging incorporating bobbles in the initial round. The lace of the edging continues into the leg but stops at the instep to ensure comfort over the foot. These socks are worked from the cuff down.

The pattern includes written instructions and lace charts. It also contains a link to my tutorial for creating a sock cuff blocker.

Skills/Techniques Required:

  • Basic sock knitting skills
  • Following charted stitch patterns
  • Lace and bobbles
