Product Details

The Ballad socks are knitted from the cuff down towards the toes. They are started with an optional tubular cast on which provides a stretchy edge to the cuff. The heel flaps are knitted with a reinforced stitch pattern for durability and the heels are round French heels. Instructions are given for modifying the gusset for a more generous fit.

The lace pattern of these socks is the little sister to the lace pattern from my most popular pattern, the Poet sweater. I first worked a pair of socks in the original Poet lace pattern and while I was knitting them I started to think about a similar pattern but with a smaller scale so that I could fit more pattern repeats on a sock. That's how the Ballad socks were born.
