Free Pattern: Elven Socks

The Elven Socks are inspired by the cool evenings of late summer. They’re a little bit fancy and perfect for showing off. The lace is designed to show off colour changing yarns and add a bit of interest to your standard colourful socks. I mean who says you can't have lace and colour! The lace work is simple and satisfyingly quick, a great beginners lace. Pattern is written toe up and written for magic loop but is easily adaptable to DPNs.
