Romp around in these darling textured socks and your feet will feel light as air. The textured pattern stitch includes a bold move that you aren’t going to believe…

These socks are surprisingly easy and so fun to make. The pattern stitch looks complex, but is simple enough for a new sock knitter. Some experience with sock knitting is suggested, but not required.

These socks are knit from the cuff to the toe with a simple, short-row garter heel. The toe is also done in garter and the final stitches are grafted. Any preferred components of sock building can be easily substituted. This pattern has a visible seam at the back.

Thanks to everyone who test knit this pattern! xo
