Multidirectional Socks
Pattern Description from Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting: “To extend the metaphor of life’s puzzle, the pieces don’t always fit together the way we think they will - or should. But when the pieces ‘snap’ into place, it becomes obvious that it’s the way it was meant to be. For this project I’ve designed a rather basic sock, but the method of construction is a bit unexpected. I started by knitting the leg portion horizontally, around the leg, instead of using the standard method. Simple puzzle pieces that still fit together to make a create, albeit untraditional sock.”
