Project excerpted from Toe-Up Socks for Every Body: Adventurous Lace, Cables, and Colorwork from Wendy Knits

Have some cables with your lace! I love designs that incorporate both twists and holes. The leaves in the bouquets are formed by lace stitches and are complemented by simple cable twists in the stems. Because this design features a large pattern motif, you can use a slightly variegated yarn without obscuring the bouquets.

Size:
S (M, L), 7 (8, 9)" (18 [20.5, 23]cm) circumference, 9" (23cm) long foot, and 10" (25.5cm) tall leg measured from the bottom of the foot to the top of the cuff

Gauge:
8 stitches and 12 rows = 1" (2.5cm) in stockinette stitch

Needles:
2 US size 0 (2mm) circular needles (or 1 long circular needle), or size needed to attain gauge

Yarn:
1 skein Fleece Artist Basic Merino 2/6 Sock, 100% machine washable merino wool, 4 oz (113.5g), 370 yd (338.5m), Clementine, Superfine

Toe:
Using a Turkish Cast-On, a Figure-Eight Cast-On, or Judy's Magic Cast-On, cast on a total of 28 (32, 36) stitches—14 (16, 18) stitches on each needle. Knit across the stitches on each needle once. On the next round, increase 4 stitches as follows:

Needle 1 K1, m1, knit until the last stitch, m1, k1.
Needle 2 K1, m1, knit until the last stitch, m1, k1.
Then knit a round without increasing.
Repeat these 2 rounds until you have a total of 56 (64, 72) stitches—28 (32, 36) stitches on each needle.

Start the Lace Pattern:
On needle 1, work the first row of the Bouquet lace chart over the next 28 (32, 36) stitches. Knit across needle 2.
Continue in this manner, working as many repeats of the 28-row pattern as necessary until approximately 3" (7.5cm) shy of the total length of the foot.

Create the Gusset:
Round 1 Work across needle 1 in the lace pattern. Needle 2 (sole stitches): K1, m1, knit across to the last stitch, m1, k1.
Round 2 Work across needle 1 in the lace pattern. Needle 2 (sole stitches): Knit all stitches.
Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until you have 48 (54, 60) stitches on needle 2. On the last round 2, increase 1 stitch in the center of the sole for a total of 49 (55, 61) stitches. Work across needle 1 in the chart pattern.

Turn the Heel:
You will now work back and forth on the stitches on needle 2 and will not knit the stitches on needle 1 while turning the heel. Turn the heel as follows:
Row 1 (RS) K33 (37, 41), kf&b, k1, w&t.
Row 2 P20 (22, 24), pf&b, p1, w&t.
Row 3 K18 (20, 22), kf&b, k1, w&t.
Row 4 P16 (18, 20), pf&b, p1, w&t.
Row 5 K14 (16, 18), kf&b, k1, w&t.
Row 6 P12 (14, 16), pf&b, p1, w&t.
Row 7 K10 (12, 14), kf&b, k1, w&t.
Row 8 P8 (10, 12), pf&b, p1, w&t.
Needle 2 now holds 57 (63, 69) stitches, having just completed a wrong-side row. On the right side, knit to the end of needle 2, knitting each wrap together with the stitch it wraps. Work across the instep stitches on needle 1 in the chart pattern.

Heel Flap:
Work back and forth on the heel stitches on needle 2:
Row 1 (RS) K42 (47, 52) (knitting each wrap together with the stitch it wraps), ssk, turn.
Row 2 Sl1, p27 (31, 35), p2tog, turn.
Row 3 [Sl1, k1] 14 (16, 18) times, ssk, turn.
Repeat rows 2 and 3 until all side stitches have been worked; end having worked row 2. Turn your work and knit 1 row, decreasing 1 stitch in the center of the row. The needle now holds 28 (32, 36) stitches.

Leg:
Begin working in the round again. Work the stitches on needle 1 in the chart pattern as established earlier. Starting with the same row you worked on needle 1, work the chart over needle 2.
When your sock leg measures about 9" (23cm) from the bottom of the heel, or 1" (2.5cm) shy of the desired leg length, work in k2, p2 ribbing for 1" (2.5cm). Bind off very loosely in rib.
