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 texture found on rocks. The pattern is nice and simple and adds a fun cushy fabric for you feet. The texture pattern really looks nice on a tonal or speckled yarn. You can choose to knit a shortie sock or a full length sock.

This is a top-down sock with a traditional heel flap. It is worked using magic loop; needle 1 will be the front of foot/instep/leg, and needle 2 will be the back of foot/leg and heel. Sized from child to large adult these are perfect socks for the whole family.
