I’ve been obssesed with this stitch pattern lately.

Just lacy enough and addictive to knit, it reminds me of ferny, mossy, fronds, like the Thuidium moss that it’s named after.

The stitch pattern can be a little tricky to work at first, but there’a video tutorial to help you through it. Once you have a couple of repeats under your belt you’ll find it’s surprisingly easy to memorise.

And if you’re an adventurous beginner who’s ready to take the leap then this pattern is a great step up from the classic vanilla sock!

Knit from the toe up, these cosy socks feature a gently curved toe and a gusset and eye of partridge heel flap for a snug and cosy fit.

Pattern is written for the magic loop technique.

Stitch pattern is charted and written.
