Third Avenue Socks are inspired by the textures found in urban cityscapes and feature a weave-like slip stitch pattern and eye of partridge heel. The result is squishy and works equally well with highly variegated, speckled, or solid yarns. Prior experience with sock knitting is recommended but not required for this pattern.

This pattern is written for toe-up socks using magic loop, but it can be readily adapted to your preferred method of knitting in the round or to cuff-down knitting.
