A story of texture, color, and connection.

Simple stitches meet meaningful design in Because I Knew You, a top-down sock pattern that transforms basic knits and purls into a beautifully textured fabric. With a classic heel flap and gusset construction, these socks offer a comfortable, familiar fit while inviting you to reflect on the quiet power of transformation.

Inspired by the way two lives can become forever intertwined, this pattern celebrates the blending of differences—pink and green, knit and purl—into something inseparable and enduring. As you knit each stitch, you’ll witness a subtle interplay of texture that’s greater than the sum of its parts—just like the relationships that shape us.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself or someone who changed your life, these socks are a gentle, meditative project full of meaning and warmth.
