Thoroughly Impressed Socks
This simple, yet stunning stitch pattern will leave you thoroughly impressed!
Get this pattern in Addicted to Sock Knitting, Issue 7 Summer 2016 featuring the pattern and an interview with the designer.
I love the look of lace but hate knitting holes into my socks. I love the look of cable motifs, but dislike all the purling. So I designed this stitch pattern to stamp an impression on the top of the foot, leaving behind an etched or impressed look. The results appear deceptively complicated, but are actually quite easily knit: with no purling, and just slipping and crossing stitches.
This pattern is toe-up and written for distinct left and right socks.The pattern includes the Spacious One-needle Mock Gusset heel, which does not disrupt the striping on the top of the foot. The heel closely mimics the traditional heel-flap and gusset heel, but is actually a short-row heel worked from the toe-up.
This pattern looks fabulous in tonal, variegated, and self-striping yarn. The large range of sizes means you can knit a pair for the whole family, and everyone will be thoroughly impressed!
