Spiraling Snow Socks

The onset of colder weather and the icy blue of this yarn inspired a lace snow-flurry that sweeps up the instep of this toe-up sock and then blows around the ankle in a spiral cuff. The forked heel means this ankle sock will stay put, thanks to the extra heel room and more anatomically correct shape. An optional ribbed cuff can be added.

Designed for Three Irish Girls’ Sock Club in Kells Sport.
