Slip-stitch patterning adds colour, texture, and a second layer of insulation to these lovely socks in a geometric tiles pattern. The two-coloured slipped stitch squares are replaced at random with squares in main colour to give the socks a unique look.

The pattern is worked with one colour at the time. You can choose to work the stitch pattern either from the chart or from the written instructions.
