These highly textured, rib & lace socks are worked with a central panel of lace which stacks up in long columns. Later, a honeycomb-like texture is achieved with an Eye of Partridge Heel. The real Curly Wurly bars were always best admired, not chosen – but these socks are sure to be a regular favourite on those warm days with cool evenings, when a handknitted sock is the right thing to reach for.
