Concertina Lace Socks Pattern

Description

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

I designed this lace to give the illusion of dimensionality, rather like the bellows on a concertina. This small accordion-like instrument mesmerizes everyone with its happy music and wavelike rhythm as the bellows are pushed in and pulled out.
