These socks remind me of the pretty green leaves in the spring and summer while the little pearl beads bring to mind the tiny flower buds Mother Nature hides amongst the leaves. My sister, Julia, said she thought of green shamrocks and clovers. Thus, my socks became “Irish Pearls”.

Socks are sized for a medium adult woman. The pattern stitch is a multiple of 6 stitches. You can easily adjust the size, if needed, by adding or decreasing in multiples of 6 stitches. The legs are lacy & “size friendly”! They easily stretch to fit heavier legs & gently hug smaller legs.

Mill Hill #16603 beads were used in the model. You need 100 size 6 beads.

IF YOU WOULD RATHER WORK THE LACE PATTERN FROM A CHART, CHARTS ARE ALSO INCLUDED WITH THE WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS.
