Beads enhance the lacy scallops of these dressy socks in a low-cuffed anklet style. I modified a basic feather-and-fan lace structure for ribbed elasticity to hug the ankle and firmness to carry the weight of the beads. For the model shown at left, I chose a regal looking purple variegated yarn and contrast beads. The anklets look equally elegant in a tone-on-tone combination such as in the pink version to the right. Close-up stitch and bead detail Adult medium. 300 yards fingering weight yarn, 8 stitches/inch, size US 1 / 2.5 mm needles suggested. Size 8/0 glass seed beads - 480 (approximately 20g). Charted instructions. Shown in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn and Miyuki beads. For the purple model, the yarn color is #701 Purple Club; bead color is Pearl Ceylon. For the pink model, yarn is #44 Gray's Corner and beads are Purple-lined Blue Crystal. HeartStrings FiberArts
