Tumbling Water
For this pattern I started with a Japanese stitch design which reminds me of water tumbling over rocks. The design has been adjusted to work in both a medium and a large size sock and to flow seamlessly from cuff to leg to toe. The pattern has a large amount of stretch to fit a wide variety of feet and legs. Choose a light to medium solid or tonal yarn.

I have knitted both the medium and large size socks. Please report any issues you may find with the pattern.
