These socks were originally inspired by an Art Nouveau themed magazine call back in Summer 2021. After playing with various stitch swatches, what I got instead was a stitch pattern that reminded me more of the Impossible Geometry that is so prevalent in the works of M.C. Escher.

The Blocks Stitch Pattern is made with a combination of slipped stitches and one-over-four cables, this means that the leg and the top of the sock have far less stretch then the stocking stitch sole of the sock.

Sample is shown in Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in “Teal
Feather”, though any wool/nylon sock yarn will work up well as a substitute.
