Simple and straightforward, yet eye-catching, are Luna’s WaveSocks.
You knit "toe-up," starting at the tip. The entire foot remains in stockinette stitch, so nothing will bother you inside your shoes. After knitting the heel, the playful lace pattern begins on the leg. The pattern is particularly emphasized by alternating different colours.

This pattern is for advanced beginners. You will work the lace pattern according to a chart.
