Survival Mode PixelKnitSocks
Will be available soon as part of the #PixelKnitSocksKAL
These socks are a love letter to the pixelated adventures we all know—starting from nothing, punching trees, running from green mobs in the dark, and slowly building your way to epic glory.
Worked from the top down or toe up, this pattern lets you choose your own path (like any good sandbox game should). Each section represents a different stage of the survival journey: gathering wood, dodging exploding fiends, building a portal, exploring a lava-filled underworld, and finally making it to the void for the ultimate boss battle.
The colorwork charts use mostly two colors per round, keeping things simple and meditative. A few areas use three colors, but you can easily duplicate stitch those parts afterward if you prefer.
Whether you’re crafting these for yourself or a fellow fan, these socks are more than just a project—they’re a mini adventure, one round at a time.
