Beads enhance the lacy scallops of these dressy socks in a low-cuffed anklet style. I modified a basic feather-and-fan lace structure for ribbed elasticity to hug the ankle and firmness to carry the weight of the beads.

For the model shown above, I chose a regal looking purple variegated yarn and contrast beads. The anklets look equally elegant in a tone-on-tone combination such as in the pink version below.
Adult medium. 300 yards fingering weight yarn, 8 stitches/inch, size US 1 / 2.5 mm needles suggested. Size 8/0 glass seed beads - 472 (approximately 12 g). Charted instructions.
