Lazy Daisy by Jody Pirrello

I wear sneakers and capris a lot when the weather is warm.  I like the comfort the sneakers give but not the stickiness of wearing them without socks.

Usually I wear gym footies.  And then one day it dawned on me - this might be the perfect opportunity to wear handknit socks during the warm weather!

I used a cotton yarn with lycra to battle cotton's tendency to stretch out.  A picot hem peeks out of my shoes and the summery floral stitch keeps it interesting to knit.

If anklets aren't your thing, work a few more repeats before you start the heel.
