Estrella Socks are adorned with one of my favorite stitch patterns I created. When you look at the stitches closer, they reminded me of the star-shaped leaves, thus the name. Estrella Socks are seamless and worked in the round from the top down. The socks come in three sizes, the foot and leg length is adjustable. The red socks pictured are knitted with a fingering sock weight yarn — Alegria by Manos del Uruguay. You can use any fingering weight sock yarn in solid, semi-solid or slightly speckled colorways with great results.
This pattern has written and charted instructions and contains links to techniques used.
