Else's Estonian Lace Socks

Are you thinking of crazy nupps and gathered stitches when you hear Estonian stitches? There are also lace patterns that are much easier to knit and just as beautiful! A pattern called Half-Leaf inspired me to make these socks. I have named them after my paternal grandmother. She died three years before I was born and the only thing I know about her is that she was a good swimmer. Hopefully she would have liked these socks as much as I do.

The pattern offers all the possibility - use any needle you like, charted and written instructions are provided, a cuff down and a toe up version is included, three sizes and two heel options guarantee perfect fit! The lace pattern is easy to do, but looks really impressive - does it get any better than that?
