Visual depictions of radio waves are the inspiration for these socks. A fascinating idea of sound being translated as a repetitive movement pattern finds its interpretation in yarn. As music and speech travel through the air without being diluted by it, in the Radio Wave Socks, the white color works as a canvas for beautiful shifts in the variegated colorway.

This design combines two different color-shifting mosaic patterns for an entertaining project. Socks are knit from the top down with a heel flap. Both the toe and heel are reinforced with slipped stitches.

Stitch pattern is both written out and charted.
