Knitted toe-up, with a heel flap & gusset construction, this socks feature a complex-looking pattern that is surprisingly easy to knit. The design of the socks is inspired by the incredible shapes that are form on the tree branches by the growing oakmoss (Evernia prunastri).
The pattern is adapted from the beautiful book “Knitted Cable Sourcebook” by Norah Gaughan.
The yarn I used, Mondim, is a non-superwash fingering weight yarn made from fine Portuguese wool (from Retrosaria Rosa Pommar).
The sock pattern includes written descriptions, charts for the cablework, & an annex with photo-tutorials describing all the techniques used.
The design is available in three circumference sizes. The length of the leg and foot are adjustable.
