Heartichoke

*These socks are knitted toe-up. The pattern features a curved line on the toe, derived from ballerina shoes. The foot is made with a gusset and a heel flap construction. The lace pattern on the leg was inspired by the form of an artichoke, as well as each petal.* In the downloadable pdf version, the pattern includes charts and written instructions for the lace and cables sections. **SIZES** 1 (2)
