These socks derive their name from the arches of leaves that make up the lace pattern. Knitted from the top down, a picot hem edges the lace, forming an arched cuff. The sock leg is worked in the Leafy Arches Pattern; this lace is worked on all rounds, whilst being simple to follow.

A slip-stitch heel flap follows with heel turn. Stitches are then picked up to work the sock gusset and instep, followed by the foot. Foot length is adjusted by working a stocking stitch section, with short rows, before shaping the toe.

Written instructions and charts are included for the lace pattern.
