The Circle Club 2017

This sock has been released as part of The Circle Club, a collaboration between Clare from Knit Share Love and Joy from The Knitting Goddess.

The design will be exclusive to club members until October 2017 when it will be available to purchase as a single pattern on Ravelry.

The next instalment of the club will be sent out in September 2017 and you can sign up in July by visiting The Knitting Goddess online shop.

July | Turquoise shaded by grey

Polka Dot: a pattern consisting of a large array of dots, even in shape and size …

The rhythmic changing from knit to purl brings a steady tempo to my knitting - each row slightly different but always the comfort of knits and purls.

These subtly textured socks are a celebration of the polka dot, one of my favourite patterns. Worked from the top down they feature a short-row heel, with my all time favourite German Short Rows. A nifty mini-heel flap and gusset create a better fitting sock. The toe is worked in reverse stocking stitch so it doesn’t steal the show from those lovely polka dots.
