Labyrinth Socks
These socks are the final round pattern for Sock Madness 12.
A labyrinth is one continuous path that spirals to a central point. The terms labyrinth and maze are often used interchangeably, however, a maze differs in that it is a puzzle with wrong turns and false paths. Labyrinths have been made for thousands of years all around the world. They appear as structures, wall paintings, pottery, and even woven into baskets. Historians classify them into different types.
This sock pattern includes several types of labyrinths from the Classical family of Labyrinths. There are many 3-circuit classic labyrinths, a 7-circuit classic labyrinth (sometimes referred to as a Cretan labyrinth), and a Baltic labyrinth (also called the goddess labyrinth).
There is only one size for this pattern.
