This pattern is inspired by blissful moments spent by the sea, dipping your toes in the cool water waves coming on shore, with sun shining and warming up your skin. It’s what I feel to be an essence of summer!

They have a folded stockinette cuff, lace panel resembling waves around the leg, German short row heel and stockinette instep and sole, making it quite fast to knit. The stitch pattern is both written and charted.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
