All my self-published patterns are 50% off through Monday, December 2nd! No code needed, just add them to your cart. Thank you so much for your support!

I have long been intrigued by the fascinating shapes and lines that can be created by simple increases and decreases in knitting. When I discovered this beautiful speckled yarn from Queen’s Yarn Boutique, I knew it was just the right colorway to have some fun with converging ribbing. These socks are knit top down, with a German short row heel and toe. I have made mine ankle height, but they could easily be made taller. This pattern is written for magic loop, but is easy to change if you prefer a different method.
