Please Note: This pattern is also available for FREE on my blog. However, by purchasing the printable PDF at a low price, you also support me as a designer! With your purchase, you will receive your choice between two PDF files. One is fully coloured, with photos, and the other is a simple, black and white version with no photos and just the essential information.
Spice Market Socks are made toe-up with a German short row heel. Using the Mosaic method means that you knit with only one colour at at time to create a colour pattern, as opposed to stranded colourwork or fair isle, which requires you to carry your colours along with you. The benefit of Mosaic over stranded colourwork, when working with socks, is that they don’t end up quite as thick and the finished fabric has more give. This is great if you have a wide foot or ankle and you sometimes find yourself having trouble getting fair isle socks up over your heel.
The pattern and colour options make this a very versatile sock pattern for both men and women, the options are endless! The pattern notes on my website also include info for if you choose to resize your sock to suit your needs.
TIP For a neater join, follow this tutorial for preventing colour jog in your stripes. You will do this method on the second row of each colour section (start of rows 2, 6 and 10).
