"The combination of lace and chevrons in this sock is perfect for yarns with short color repeats," opines Patterson. "Solids, semi-solids, and tweeds would be marvelous, too." This is an unusually graceful sock, rather like a Gothic spire in its crisp airiness. As socks go, it's strangely sexy too, with its peekaboo fagoting and drawn-in, almost corseted look. It truly would show off just about any special sock yarn extremely well, and a plain yarn in this pattern would just serve that much better to show off a shapely ankle.
