January | Bend and Fold

There is something captivating about twisted stitches - with simple movements straight columns of knit stitches can be moulded into flowing patterns. Bending and curving, folding and shaping - with each round the pattern slowly emerges - holding your attention as you work “just one more round”…

This design is part of my “Twins” series - pairs that don’t match but echo each other instead. Each sock has its own distinct personality but they work beautifully as a pair.

Perfect if you suffer from second-sock syndrome or simply love quirky mismatched socks. Prefer your socks to match? No problem, simple pick sock A or sock B and make a matching pair…
