Silken Lounge Socks Pattern

Les Laines Biscotte is pleased to present the new pattern of Fatimah Hinds knitted with Dk Pure Louise Robert in a new color!

"Socks are the ultimate in portable knitting. You can squeeze in a few rounds anytime. Using DK weight yarn means that there will be fewer stitches on the needles and the knee-high length will be done in no time.

I designed these socks to be a fun but relaxing knit. It features a princess sole, an easy to memorize cable and lace pattern, and when it’s time for the long cuff a simple 2x2 ribbing on the back of the leg makes for a comfortable rhythm." - Fatimah
