These socks are designed around a stitch pattern that uses two of my favorite things - Cables (or twist stitches) and lace. The cables give a relief effect to the stitches, making the pattern show up well even with variegated yarns. Used with the right colors of yarn, they give the impression of a floral garden trellis. Note the attention to detail on the heel, sides of foot, and toe - how the trellis comes to the edge and is finished off. This is an intermediate level lace pattern (advanced level overall) - suitable for someone comfortable with both cables and basic lace stitches. It is rather geometric and easy to count and memorize, but is not intended as a first or beginning lace project. The sock is constructed top down, with a short row heel and grafted toe.
