Currently working on sample

A whole village, stitched into your socks. Tiny houses, villagers, fences and fields of beetroot, carrots, and potatoes. Wheat stacked high, sheep and chickens wandering about — and, of course, a dirt block for the toe.
Every classic element of the game we love, reimagined in yarn. Just like in the world of pixels, this pattern is free — because creativity should be shared.

Part of the #PixelKnitSocksKAL - join in for community, giveaways, and prizes while you knit your way through the village.

Whether you start at the cuff or the toe, the path is yours to choose. Build, explore, and wear your adventure one round at a time.

The colorwork charts use mostly two colors per round, keeping things simple and meditative. A few areas use three or four colors, but you can easily duplicate stitch those parts afterward if you prefer.
