A skein of yarn in my stash so boldly yellow that it reminded me of voltage warning sign gave me the idea for this design. I used vertical stranding to create arrows in two contrast colours, in reversed order for the left and right sock. The arrow heads are added using duplicate stitch.

Unlike the High Voltage warning sign, I worked the arrows using two contrast colors, in reversed order for the left and right sock. But possibilities are endless. Each arrow could be worked in a different color or why not make a colorful arrow using another yarn for each strand?

Size and measurements
Women’s S, M, and L to fit leg circumference 18 (20.5, 23) cm 7 (8, 9)”. Leg length to the heel results in 16.5 cm (6.5”) when knit as given in the pattern, adjustable. Foot length is adjustable, but to complete the arrow on the instep the foot should be a minimum of 18.75 (20, 21.25) cm 7.5 (8, 8.5)” long.
