Calm Oceans
Please note for those located in Europe that VAT is applied at checkout.
Even on a calm day in the middle of the ocean, there are always waves. Watching the waves is relaxing and meditative. I like to find a spot away from the crowd where I can appreciate the silence and be at one with nature. Waves are like life: they can be calm or stormy, but if you ride them, you will always travel somewhere. This top-down sock has a simple stitch pattern that’s textured to look like the lapping waves. The pattern is repeated throughout to bring you into a relaxed state of mind as if you are sitting quietly by the ocean watching the waves.

Notes:
I magic loop, but even if you use dpns, I recommend that you keep your foot stitches on one set of needles and the heel stitches on the other set of needles. This makes it easier to work your gusset and toe.
