The Romani people have a rich history interwoven with travel, endless roads, and the spirit of the open journey. In the Romani language, **Baxtale Pinde translates to Happy Feet**, making it the perfect name for this design. This pattern is a tribute to that wandering spirit, created to keep your feet comfortable and happy, no matter where your own path leads. The socks are worked toe-up with short-row shaping for the heel. An instep wedge is worked before the short-row heel to provide additional room around the instep. After the heel is completed, the wedge stitches are decreased, returning the sock to the original stitch count. Instead of a traditional ribbed cuff, the socks are finished with a delicate lace pattern. The pattern includes both written instructions and a chart for the lace pattern. This pattern is perfect for advanced beginners looking to explore sock knitting. **Sizes & measurements** The pattern is given in 4 sizes: 1 (2, 3) 4 Circumference of unstretched foot: 18 (20, 21.5) 23 cm (7.2 (8, 8.6) 9.2”).
