Wolfberry

Jazz up a pair of basic ribbed socks with a cute lace panel.

Wolfberry are made of easy ribbing and a simple lace panel going up the outside of the foot and leg. The eight-round lace pattern is very easy to memorize — this is a great pair for a first lace socks project.

The pattern comes in two sizes: 64 and 72 stitches. The foot-hugging rib pattern gives a comfortable fit on a wide range of foot sizes. In addition, foot length is fully adjustable so you can make a pair socks that perfectly fit your measurements. Right and left socks are mirror images of each other and can be worked two at a time.

The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are given for the stitch patterns.
