Curves reminiscent of tiny cakes adorn the ruffled cuff of this mini-and-me sock pairing. The super soft Wool blends are breathable and will wear well, while the simple lace pattern gives the socks an extra dimension.

Pattern Notes

This is an intermediate level pattern.

Socks are worked toe-up and in the round using circular needles and magic loop method. Heel is short-row construction, frill around cuff is double-layered, with lace patt at front. Lace patt has looser tension than st st, so fewer sts are cast on for each size than normally used. Finished measurements of foot are same as foot length; this is adjustable for all sizes.

The written pattern, measurement table for EU sizes 25-41 and knitting charts for the Chantilly Socks appear in YARN Bookazine 17 - Patisserie, published by Scheepjes. YARN Bookazine is available in print in both UK English and Dutch language and is available from Scheepjes retailers.
