Gods. The ancient Greeks believed that in the beginning there was only formless chaos. Then chaos settled into form, and that form was the huge Gaia, the deep-breasted one, the earth. She then created several gods and twelve titans. After that, she continued to give birth to many other children and some believe that every living thing on earth today emerged from her womb.

This pattern combines seed stitch, lace and simple cables to depict Gaia’s children in her womb. For this pattern, I recommend using solid or low contrast yarn to showcase the intricate stitch work, but any color way of your choice will work. Directions are provided for 4 adult women’s sock sizes, extra small, small, medium, and large, equivalent to women’s shoe sizes US 6-6.5 (EU 36-37), US 7-7.5 (EU 37.5-38), US 8-8.5 (EU 38.5-39), and US 9-9.5 (EU 40-41). Directions include a fitted heel and simple arch shaping. Stitch pattern is included only as chart.

Note: The difference between sock sizes is determined by the size of needles, the gauge obtained and the width of the cables on the sides of the leg. Sock sizes extra small and medium are knit with US 0 (2.00 mm) needles and sizes small and large with US size 1.0 (2.25 mm). Check gauge to ensure fit.
