Lunette Socks
Digital knitting pattern pdf download
The Lunette Socks are fingering weight socks knit from the top down. They feature a subtle all-over texture that is nice and stretchy for a perfect fit. These can be knit in a single colour, or with contrasting heels, toes and cuffs, as shown. The heel is created with my favourite construction, the heel flap and gusset. The heel flap is 2x2 ribbing to mirror the cuff and complement the texture. Named after Lunette Peak, a mountain on the Alberta/British Columbia border.
