The Jellyfish Socks are inspired by the colors of a photo from Peter Adams, from a Jellyfish in underwater, and I simply fell in love with that color combination. I created a textured design which can reflect my inspiration and also the yarn that I chose for it. The pattern is not hard to proceed, and I explained everything in detail so you won’t need to get assistance from other sources. The pattern includes two socks, a mid calf and shorty ankle socks, and links to videos that I made and can guide you to work the pattern. These socks patterns are suitable for incorporating different kinds of yarn. You can easily choose any variety of yarns like tweeds or speckles or tonals.
