This is the eighth pattern from Knit the Stars - a 12 pattern collection of Zodiac-inspired socks. By purchasing the ebook you will automatically receive this, all prior and subsequent patterns in the collection when they are released.


Libras are charming, romantic individuals who are constantly seeking symmetry and balance. Both symmetry and balance are achieved in the fun pattern created by the alternating quilted stitches. And what’s more romantic than a diamond?

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.
