These socks remind me of cherry blossoms (and cherry blossom cocktails)! Pretty in pink, but awesome in any color, the socks have a little bit of practical ribbing at the top, then they launch into full girliness with a lace pattern on the leg that is easy enough for an adventurous beginner. A short row heel is a breeze to knit, and the rest of the sock is mindless stockinette stitch, which is not only easy, but also enables you to comfortably wear real shoes with your pretty socks.

Sock yarn that has a little nylon in it for durability is the perfect choice here.
