After the Rialto series, we return to the game of Overwatch for inspiration: The map “Ilios” is located in a fictional future Greece and part of it features ruins with traditional buildings, pillars and mosaics. Irresistable to a colourwork knitter who sees the world in charted patterns.

Size
Sizes S (M, L, XL) with a stitch count of 56 (64, 72, 80). The foot circumference at the suggested gauge is 15,5cm (17,75cm, 20cm, 22,25cm). Length can easily adjusted by adding more repeats.

Materials
approx. 50g of MC yarn (dark brown)
approx. 30g of CC1 yarn (light brown)
2.5mm DPNs or size required to get gauge
2mm DPNs or size required to get gauge
tapestry needle

Any regular fingering weight sock yarn in solid or semisolid colours will work well. Using variegated or even speckled yarns might also lead to interesting results, but keep the contrast to the between the colours used next to each other high enough.

Charted colourwork with additional written instructions for the construction.
