Bold, playful, and just a little bit extra, Diva is a cuff-down sock that knows exactly what she wants. With slipped stitches dancing through variegated colour, she’s a flirty knit that keeps things interesting all the way to the toe.

Designed to let two yarns shine – a sassy solid and a lively variegated – Diva is perfect for showing off bold contrasts, subtle harmonies, or a bit of both. Whether you’re strutting in your handknits or just kicking back on the sofa, these socks will make your feet feel fantastic.

Diva uses a cuff-down construction with a heel flap and gusset, and includes both written and charted stitch patterns.

She’s a great pattern for new sock knitters – with clear instructions and simple stitches – and she’s entertaining for seasoned sock knitters looking for a project with flair.
