Belandine Qochs
Celandine is a place mat design from Marianne Kinzel's First Book of Modern Lace Knitting. It has solid triangles framing lacy diamonds, perfect for use in a sock. Add a ribbing, echoed in the heel, and a sock was born. Celandine Socks are knit from the cuff down with a round heel. The pattern is written for 4 DPNs and willfit a US 71/2 shoe.
