Alder
by Helen Kurtz
This sock design by Helen Kurtz offers lots of interest to the knitter.
Worked from the toe up, the design features a lace motif resembling tiny trees; this motif is picked out with metallic silver beads on the final eight rounds of the pattern below the cuff.
The cuff is finished with a pretty picot cast-off. Helen has knitted her socks in a hand-dyed sock yarn set from Pixie Yarn, which includes a contrast colour for the toes, heels and cuffs.

Pixie Yarn Winter Boughs Sock Set (4ply weight; 75% merino, 25% nylon; 425m/465 yards per 420g set )
