The simple diagonal eyelet design is perfect for showing off a beautiful variegated sock yarn like BWM Multicoloured Sock Yarn.

The Grace socks are a pair of stockinette socks with a straightforward diagonal eyelet pattern across the instep and around the leg. Knitted seamlessly on circular needles or DPNs from the cuff down, these easy socks introduce the basics of traditional sock construction including a heel flap and gusset as well as a grafted toe.
