Hulst is a women’s sock design with just enough lace to keep things interesting, but plenty of easy stockinette to make the knitting zip along.

The pattern is named after Hulst Road, in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Brookfield Farm, where I shot the photos—is located on Hulst Road. As a shareholder, I've spent many happy hours there. It is my favorite place in my hometown!
