Ancient Arts - Cat's Paw Toe-Up Socks

By:  Karen Burnett

These lovely socks feature a design motif based on the traditional cat’s paw lace stitch. They are worked on two circulars, from the toe-up, to allow you to use up all of the gorgeous Meow Collection yarn in the skein. Sizing is accomplished by changing needle size and gauge.
