A heavenly sock pattern taking inspiration from the beautiful stained-glass windows and the intricate stonework found in religious buildings.

The pattern uses twisted stitches to form the stonework texture and variegated yarn to represent the myriad gorgeous colours found in stained glass windows.

A pattern that offers a step up from basic knitting and allows the crafter to explore texture using twisted stitches.


Three sizes are included - 56 (64, 72 stitches). Small – 7 inch/ 19cm (Medium – 8 inch/ 20.5cm, Large – 9 inch/ 23cm) foot circumference.

The sock construction is cuff down/ heel flap and gusset/ Kitchener toe.

Listing is for pattern PDF download only. Also available as a kit with beautiful hand dyed yarn (see my etsy shop - Midge Porter Design).
