LACE CUFF SOCKS

Knit Simple Holiday 2012 #39

Design by Karen Baumer

These socks, with their crown of a cuff, are a princely example of why so many stitchers have jumped with both feet— and both needles—into sock knitting. The zigzag cuffs are worked back and forth, then seamed. Subsequently, stitches for the rest of the sock are picked up from the cuff edge and worked downward.
