Whimsical, feminine, and just a touch dramatic—Flirt & Flounce is a lace sock pattern that captures the sparkling charm of Glinda herself. Worked from the top down with a classic heel flap and gusset, these socks are as fun to knit as they are to wear.

The playful lace motif brings to mind floating bubbles and flippy skirts, but underneath the glitz lies the first hint of transformation. Inspired by Glinda’s most iconic moment—and the turning point where her story truly begins—Flirt & Flounce is more than just a pretty sock. It’s a celebration of lightness, growth, and the joy of embracing your own style.

Whether you’re drawn to its nostalgic flair or just looking for a flirtatious new project, this pattern is sure to sweep you off your feet.
