This pattern is available in English and German.

These socks are worked in the round from the top down with a French heel. The shaft and the instep are worked with our Merle lace pattern. The heel, sole and toe are knitted in stockinette st.

You can knit the socks as cozy, loosely fitting socks using needle size 3 mm/US 2.5 (30 sts on 10 cm/4”). If you prefer traditional close-fitting socks, use needle size 2.5 mm/US 1.5 (32 sts on 10 cm), or depending on your own gauge. The stitch count must remain the same for the pattern to work.

Material
4-ply sock yarn with a gauge of 30 sts / 10 cm (4”).
In this pattern, we used Schachenmayr Merino Yak (400 m/100 g - 438 yds/3.5 oz).
While you can use basically any 4-ply sock yarn for this pattern, we recommend using a solid or only lightly speckled colour, so as not to overwhelm the lace pattern.

Yardage
400 m / 438 yards for all sizes. A standard 100 g / 3.5 oz ball of yarn should suffice.

You will need:
DPNs size 2.5 or 3 mm / US size 1.5 or 2.5
tapestry needle

Circumference
Size (EU) Needle size 3 mm Needle size 2.5 mm
34-36 18,5 cm 17,5 cm
37-39 18,5 cm 17,5 cm
40-42 18,5 cm 17,5 cm
43-46 18,5 cm 17,5 cm

Size (US) Needle size US 2.5 Needle size US 1.5
4.5-6 7.3” 6.9”
6.5-8 7.3” 6.9”
9-10.5 7.3” 6.9”
11-13.5 7.3” 6.9”

The circumference is smaller than the actual leg circumference - the lace pattern is extremely stretchy.

Gauge
30 sts = 10 cm / 4” with needle size 3 mm (US2.5) for loosely fitting, cosy socks
32 = 10 cm / 4” with needle size 2.5 mm (US 1.5) for tight-fitting socks
