Leprechaun's Gemstones

February's offering from my pattern store just went live! Leprechaun's Gemstones are top-down socks with a flap-and-gusset heel, sized from 7.25" up to 10.25" foot circumference. 
They were designed during a trip around Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and were actually the third incarnation of the original idea. The first draft biased so badly I couldn't wear them, and the second version looked great but the stitch pattern had so little stretch that even my 8 year old couldn't force an adult size sock over his heel. A trip back to the drawing board resulted in this lace sock with a pattern that appears to form a stack of cut gems down the sock. Invented in on the island of Ireland, and with so many rainbows (it rains a lot there!), it seemed logical that this sock treasure might be found along with the leprechauns' gold at the end of the rainbow.
