WAVE RUN SOCKS

{Irish: Stocaí Tonn}

Make waves on your needles with these striking nautical socks. The ripple motif is surprisingly simple to work (no stranded colourwork involved) and the peasant heel construction makes it easy to go with the flow.

Separate instructions are provided for cuff-down and toe-up knitting, along with stitch counts for two separate yarn weighs, making this a versatile pattern suitable for all types of sock knitters.

Knit the Wave Run Socks in a rustic tweed as shown to keep your feet warm whilst at sea, or in a traditional lightweight sock yarn.
