Remily Knits
ZaZa
by Rachel Henry Remily Knits These adorable ankle-warmers are just a little bit bohemian——-perfect for wearing over your sandals in summertime. The lower edge is knit sideways, then grafted together. Picked-up stitches are worked in the round with a lace panel and tiers of ruched lace set off by a horizontal chain stitch. Embellish with bells and beads for a personalized gypsy feel.
Pattern Notes:
ssk\*: Slip 1 st as if to knit. Return st to left needle, then k2tog tbl. (This creates a ssk that lies more smoothly.) sk2p: Slip 1 st as if to knit. K2tog, then psso. (This is a double decrease with the center stitch centered under the side stiches.) s2kp: Slip 2 sts as if to k2tog. K1, then pass both slipped sts over. (This is a double decrease with the center stitch centered on top of the side stitches.) Horizontal Chain Stitch (HCS): K into the back of the $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$ St on the left needle (do not slip sts off needle), then k2tog tbl and slip both sts off left needle. Return $1^{\mathrm{st}}$ st on right needle to left needle. (On the last stitch of the round, do not return st to left needle.)

Leaf Edging:
Provisionally CO 8 sts, leaving a 6-inch tail for grafting. Work six repeats of the Leaf Edging pattern. Do not break yarn. Return cast-on stitches to needle, and graft ends together to form a ring.
