These lovely socks feature a design motif based on the traditional cat’s paw lace stitch. They are worked on two circulars, from the toe-up, to allow you to use up all of the gorgeous yarn in the skein. Sizing is accomplished by changing needle size and gauge.
The socks in the photo were knit using 1 skein Ancient Arts 100% Superwash Blue Faced Leicester Wool 4 ply fingering / sock in Brown Tabby, and are in size Small.
