Are there buy buttons on the side of the page? If so, you've caught this pattern on one of the handful of days every year when it's available! If not, read on for details of where it went and what to do if you want to be notified the next time it's available.




A few years ago I got overwhelmed by my back catalog, retired most of my earlier work, and launched Tiny Nonsense. That gave me space to make Cool New Stuff! But some people missed the earlier things, so I make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year.

  • If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available! You can buy it just like usual.

  • If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available. It will probably be available the week after Thanksgiving and for a few days in June or July.

  • If you want to hear when the retired patterns come back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.




I tried to resist, I really did. Somehow lace didn’t feel quite right for splashing about in tide pools, picking up pebbles and shells, and getting covered in sand. So I wasn’t going to include any lace at all. But then, well, then these came along. And somehow the combination of all that curving, flowing ribbing with just the tiniest hint of lace was too much to resist. It reminds me of rivulets in the sand after the tide’s gone out. I was so smitten I broke my own rule. I’m not even a little bit sorry.

I’ve suggested ending the patterning on the foot shortly after the end of the gusset decreases. But, if you’re madly in love with the stitch pattern and don’t want to stop, or if you have longer feet and want the pattern to come a bit closer to your toes, you can absolutely work the fancy bits for a bit longer.
