This is a gansey sock pattern that reminds me of the Sligachan on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Legend says that if you stick your face in the river, you’ll be forever beautiful. Maybe because the water is cold and your features will freeze that way. Instructions are given for both toe-up and top-down construction .

I was watching old episodes of “The Dick Van Dyke

I saw a picture of this stitch pattern in a magazine and immediately fell in love. I reverse engineered it and made this lovely pair of socks. I’ve included instructions for both toe-up and top-down knitting with a short-row heel. If the short-row heel isn’t your thing, substitute your heel of choice. Happy Knitting!

I made this for Staci the Photographer to use as a prop. Enjoy!
