Construction Notes
The socks are worked in the round from the cuff down, with an afterthought heel worked at the end. The pattern includes separate rib and lace stitch instructions for each size. Lace motifs and twists add texture and interest throughout the leg and foot. Toe shaping is achieved through regular decreases and closed using Kitchener stitch. The afterthought heel is picked up and completed last, ensuring a seamless fit.
