Swag Lace Socks Pattern

Description

Knit your own Swag Lace Socks using these clearly-written instructions by knitwear designer Jackie E-S of HeartStrings FiberArts.

Swag Lace Socks feature pleated triangular eyelet bands of stockinette alternating with reverse stockinette to give dramatic shape and texture to these socks. The cuffs can be pushed down on the leg to wear like sophisticated "slouch" socks. Or wear pulled up and show off the pretty lace cable along each side of the leg. Stunning textural definition in solid colors, or use variegated colors to emphasize the movement of the stitch pattern in undulating lines.
