Who isn’t a fan of the classic lace pattern? Not only does it test your skills, but it looks delightful!

Twinning with our beginner pattern, Apollo, Artemis is a joy to knit. In fact, with a classic lace design on the front and back of the sock, you’re in for quite the challenge if you’ve not tackled this type of pattern before!

But with both written directions and a chart, we’ve made it super-duper easy for you. So, it’s up to you how you get to know this pattern. As long as you get some groovy socks out of it, that’s all that matters, right?

Worked in the round, Apollo contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for an afterthought heel, but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using.

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer.
