Chile Ristra

a spicy lace pattern with decorative charm

The Chile Ristra Socks have a lace pattern that transitions from the cuff down the leg then onto the heel and into the toes. The pattern includes options for a garter or chevron cuff as well as a plain or patterned toe, ensuring that an experienced lace knitter will not have a chance to become bored and an intermediate lace knitter will find lots of opportunity to refine their skills!

The lace is only charted, so you will need to know how to read knitting charts, or be willing to attempt them, as the stitch pattern is not written out line by line.
