Gemini Socks
This is the fourth pattern from Knit the Stars - a 12 pattern collection of Zodiac-inspired socks. By purchasing the ebook you will automatically receive this and all subsequent patterns in the collection when they are released.
Perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of the zodiac is Gemini’s Twins. This pattern touches on that playful duality by featuring two contrasting yarns that play together to create a fun mosaic pattern across the top of foot and leg. Do note that I knit my socks as fraternal twins.
The pattern includes written instructions for toe up and cuff down construction with two needles using the Magic Loop method but any circular knitting method can be used. Instructions are given for a short row heel and tips are given throughout the pattern on technique.
