Ace of spade sock

59 kr

The Ace of Spade Sock is just what the name suggests –
A sock inspired by the deck’s most sophisticated
and elegant card, the Ace of Spades. ♠️ This sock certainly has attitude and is designed to impress when you wear them. The lace pattern together with the twisted stitches create an enchanting pattern that leads the eye from ankle to toe. The sock is knitted from shaft to toe with a classic reinforced heel. Ideally, use a light, solid color yarn to really enhance the visual effect of the pattern and create a sock that is both comfortable and elegant.
The pattern is written with instructions on how to adjust the width and length of the sock. You work from both
charts and written instructions.
The pattern provides guidance for stocking stitch but it works equally well with circular needles and magic loop. This pattern was the pattern of the month in the sock club in January 2025.
Enjoy! Greetings Erika Wärn & Nordic Knitting Society
