Spectacle Rib Socks

Charles Dickens created the charming Samuel Pickwick who was known for his circular spectacles and twinkling eyes. The Spectacle Rib Socks are a homage to the lovable Mr. Pickwick, recreating his circular spectacles with a bouncy, lace rib. As you may know (and Im sure Samuel would agree) nothing is more pleasurable than slipping on a sock that stretches elegantly to fit your leg and foot. The Spectacle Rib Pattern is a very stretchy pattern based on a multiple of 7 stitches and worked over 3 rows. Easily memorized and a delight to wear. The sock is knit from the top down. Directions for the Spectacle Rib Pattern are written as well as charted. The amount of yarn needed is 375-420 yards depending upon size worked.
