The Stargazer socks are cuff-down socks that feature a fun cross-stitch pattern that’s fantastic for variegated yarns, but looks great in tonals and solids, too. While this pattern is written for double point needles, it can easily be converted to whatever needles you like to use for your socks - small circumference circulars, Magic Loop, or two circular needles. The sample socks are a size M2, and are worked in Abstract Fiber’s Super Sock+ in the Koi Pond colourway.
