This sock pattern utilizes the woven ladder stitch which showcases floats on the right side of the knitted fabric. This technique minimizes the pooling common with handpainted or heavily variegated yarns while taking advantage of their lovely colour gradations. The pattern includes detailed instructions and stitch charts. These socks are knit from the top down.

Skills/Techniques Required:

  • Basic sock knitting skills
  • Following charted stitch patterns
  • Slipped stitches
  • Grafting using kitchener stitch
