Mala Socks

These feminine socks feature a twisted stitch and lace pattern, involving double yarn-overs and twisted stitches, which mimic one-by-one cables. They are worked from cuff to toe, with a heel flap and gusset, and kitchener seaming to close the toe. It has lace decorating the front of the sock while ribbing along the leg allows this section to stretch. Slipped stitch ribbing on the heel gusset provides reinforcement along this area of high wear, while simple stockinette for the gusset and bottom of the foot provides comfortable wear. These socks come in four sizes, fitting feet for a small woman up to a large man. This pattern uses some special techniques, such as twisted stitches and double yarn-overs.
