March Featured Pattern and Knit-Along: Garden Lace Socks

So it look (and feels!) like the groundhog didn't see his shadow back in February.  As I write this, it's a balmy and sunny 13 C here; and it really feels like the start of spring - perfect excuse to update the Garden Lace Socks for the March Featured Pattern and Knit-Along!

Don't worry, if you don't have the pattern, it's 50% off through the month of March!

These socks come from several ideas, but the biggest one was the idea of travelling lace leaves. I fell in love with this motif the first time I saw it, and this seemed the perfect place to use it! When I was working the partial garter rib, it reminded of a newly sown garden, all in neat lines. Hence, the name of the socks was a relatively easy choice, and accurate for these glorious days!

This sample was knit in Fleece Artist BFL Sock in "Jade" - now, sadly, discontinued.  If you're looking for a substitute, any fingering-weight wool sock yarn should work up just fine, even better if is a BFL blend of wool!

You can buy the pattern through Etsy,  in my Web Shop, or, on my Patreon Shop, the discount is available on all platforms. (Psst, Featured Pattern Subscribers and above on Patreon can just download the pattern for free from the Patreon Shop!)
