Laurelhurst

February 2020: I have been putting out patterns for about 15 years! Time to make changes. This pattern is now available for free! If money is tight, this is for you. I intend to keep this pattern free forever. If you want to/can put some money somewhere, I have a suggestion: The Autism Self Advocacy Network (ASAN). Click the link to learn more! [Who We Are & What We Do][1] The Autistic Self Advocacy Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by and for autistic people. ASAN was created to serve as a national grassroots disability rights organization for the autistic community.

It’s been named “the most beautiful park” on the west coast by the Pacific Coast Parks Association and was the first park to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. To me, Laurelhurst Park is a fine place to read under the shade of the conifers on a sunny summer day. I designed these socks with conifers in mind for the lace cuff. The detail is inspired by the Douglas Fir, a local tree with a distinctive cone. Details: Foot circumference: (2 sizes) 7.5 (8.75) inches (19, 22 cm) unstretched. Will stretch to fit 8.5 (9.75) inches (21.5, 25 cm). This pattern is worked from the cuff down with two colors. It includes lace, stripes, slipped stitches, a stranded heel flap, and a grafted toe. There are two different striping options: Wide Stripes (Grey and blue sample) and Skinny Stripes (Grey and red sample). This pattern was tested by Basaltimum and teilzeitheldin. Basaltimum knitted the red pair. Socks were modeled by Star Athena and [Lee Meredith][2]. All photography by [Vivian Aubrey.][2] Many Thanks!
