These socks feature a simple garter stitch stripe and eyelet lace. Knit from the top (cuff) down with a wide toe and a flap heel, they are available in two foot circumference sizes; the foot length may be customized. The pattern is written for DPNs, but may also be worked using 2 circulars or Magic Loop techniques.

The sample is knit using one Transitionals Pack from Wooly Wonka Fibers, but may also be knit using any fingering weight yarn. (This pattern would look great in a single colorway, or use up those sock yarn scraps!). Instructions are given within the pattern for changing colorways based on the 4 colors in the Transitionals Pack. Simply ignore those color change instructions if you wish to knit the pattern in a single color. The lace pattern is charted only, and not written out.

These socks are named after one of the fashionable 1960s Mod-Look shops in the Carnaby Street district in London. They are part of the larger Carnaby Street Collection as well.
