INSTRUCTIONS ONLY - Crochet your own Openwork Knee High Socks lace pattern in Adult sizes

Hi there! These fun knee-length socks in a variation of the Triangle Stitch are made bottom-up so you can try them on as you go. They start with the solid toe, work upward to the EASY solid heel for comfort (the heel is simply increases & then decreases, THAT’S IT!), then up to the knee. They look fantastic with a dark knee-length skirt & ankle boots.
