Retro Dream socks

A full colourwork sock with bands of pattern around the leg and the toe – these socks literally kept me awake at night until I pinned them down in knitted form! They feature several fun-to-knit colourwork patterns, ranging from the easily memorised to the main section on the leg which keeps you wanting to knit just one more round to see how it pans out. These guys are named retro because theres a sense of argyle here, a hint of granddad socks in the foot, vaguely 80s-style geometric shapes around the leg… and yet its also tongue in cheek cos they still look rocking. And a change in colour makes a WORLD of difference.

Socks are knitted top-down and foot length is fully customisable.The sample socks are in the medium size, using Travelknitter BFL Supersock in Laneway City (charcoal), London Skies (grey) and Firecracker (red). You’ll only need a tiny amount of yarn (5g or less)for the little contrast detail at the top of the ankle and the toe.
