Enjoy 25% off all of my patterns through June 19, 2023 with code bday to help celebrate my birthday!

This sock was inspired by the song ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’ by The Beatles. I love this song and when I was going to knit this sparkle yarn by Polka Dot Sheep, it looked like the night sky. I added a colorwork motif to mimic diamonds and stars. To add a bit of texture, I knit the colorwork with suri alpaca yarn.

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be back of the foot/leg and heel.
