Last year I wrote about this magical place called Mesopotamia on my blog. The long drive out to Mesopotamia, South Canterbury sees you taking in the magnificent views while crossing fords and bridges. One of these bridges crosses Forest Creek, which winds its way out of the mountains to the Rangitata River below.

As you make your way through the stitches in this pattern, you are creating textured triangles whose angles are much like the girders of this bridge. You begin at the toe and work your way up the foot, texture on the top and plain stocking stitch on the sole for comfort, then you will create a gusset, and heel flap before making your way up the leg with a reversed pattern on front and back to keep you on your toes.

• Up to 100g of 4ply sock yarn
