Blue Ladder Lace Socks

When we went to Pigeon Forge this summer, my sister and I went to a yarn shop. I saw this brilliant blue sock yarn in a basket and knew it had to be mine. Blue is my favorite color and this was about as saturated as blue can get. The yarn is by Punta Yarns. It's their Merisock Handpainted Color HP62.


I didn't want to do a plain sock with such beautiful yarn. I decided on a simple rib lace pattern. I started a plain toe up sock and then when I got about 1 1/2" past the heel, I started the rib pattern and then finished with a bit of 2x2 ribbing.

Stockinette Ladder Lace pattern:
Row 1 *ssk, yo, yo, k2tog*


Row 2 *k, p, k, k*


I love this yarn and these socks!
