Water Cube Socks
November 2019: I have been putting out patterns for almost 15 years! Time to make changes.
This pattern is now available for free! If money is tight, this is for you. I intend to keep this pattern free forever.
If you want to/can put some money somewhere, I have a suggestion: The Autism Self Advocacy Network (ASAN). Click the link to learn more!

The Autistic Self Advocacy Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by and for autistic people. ASAN was created to serve as a national grassroots disability rights organization for the autistic community. Make a donation to ASAN here

This project was inspired by the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and all of the action that happened in the Water Cube. Each sock has a wavy lace motif and a strong center seam like a swimmer wiggling through the pool. The cuff is worked with a picot edge for an added splash, and the sides alternate between ribbing and reverse-stockinette for a cube-like effect. The star toe is like a spiral high dive. Have fun with these socks and go for gold!
This pattern was originally available only for those who purchased fall 2008 sock kits from Fresh From the Cauldron.
Details:
Foot circumference: 6.5 7.5, 8.5 inches (16 18.5, 21 cm) unstretched.
Will comfortably stretch to fit 8 9, 10 inches (20 23, 25.5 cm).
This pattern is worked from the top down with a picot cuff, twisted ribbing, water cube lace, slip-stitch heel flap, and a star toe. Sizes are snug to allow for negative ease. The lace pattern is charted as well as written; take your pick.
