These socks are named after my wonderful boyfriend who gets a lot of the socks I knit. Since Ash is a unisex name, it makes sense to name these unisex socks after him. Or you could see it as a tribute to the volcano causing so much travel disruption at the moment!

Large diamonds run down the front and back of this sock and cross over above the ankle. An eyelet row runs down the sides of the foot and across the toe, framing the pattern.

I’ve always found it difficult to find patterns for men’s socks that aren’t too fancy for the wearer and tedious for the knitter.
