This is a great pattern. The cuff is stretchy and comfortable and it's really cool how the lace panel starts on the side of the heel flap and cuts across the instep. It would be easy to modify this and use a different lace panel or continue the ribbing on the instep instead of stockinette. The pattern calls for 66 stitches cast on but this could be modified as well. There's really no reason that the cuff has to be ribbed. You could use stockinette or some other stitch although you'd want to keep it simple so it doesn't detract from the lace panel.



The lace panel is 15 stitches wide and has a repeat of 8 rows. I picked up 16 stitches along the side of the heel flap so it lined up nicely.

I also tweaked that pattern so that the lace panel would line up with the toe decreases instead of wrapping around on the sole of the sock.

I might try this with a finer weight sock yarn like Lorna's Laces or Koigu so I could use a wider lace panel. These were knit on size 2.75 mm needles with 66 stitches cast on. I think the yarn is Cherry Tree Hill Super Sock but I lost the ball band so I'm not sure.
