A simple pair of socks with a striking effect! The Cascades Socks feature a set of bold stripes on the leg of the sock and just before the toe as well as contrasting heels, toes and cuffs. One of the stripes on the leg has a little extra challenge too! Featuring an easy 2 row lace repeat, this pattern is perfect for knitters new to lace knitting looking to dip their toes in! This pattern allows you to showcase handdyed yarns beautifully. The Cascades Socks are knit from the top down and feature an afterthought heel. Leg and foot length can be adjusted to any size.
