Diamond Lace Ankle Sock

Do you want to knit socks, but it's still too warm where you live? How about a lacy ankle sock! This is an intermediate pattern, but I've included some resources below for adventurous beginners or if you need a refresh on some of the skills used. You like charts? I have charts. You hate charts? I have written instructions. Download whichever you prefer (or both!) - there is also a printer friendly version available. This pattern has been tested in all sizes, but not tech edited. **Skills** * Knitting in the round * Provisional cast-on or picking up cast-on stitches * Decreasing (K2Tog, SSK, SK2P) * German short rows (or other short row method of your choice) * Heel flap and gusset (or substitute whichever heel you prefer) * Lace (chart or written) * Kitchener Stitch **Resources** Here is a collection of third party resources that I think may be useful when knitting this pattern.
