FOLLOWING ON from his 1960s inspired socks in Issue 119, Nathan Taylor brings us his 1970s-style design. “Nothing says the Seventies to me more than crocheted granny squares!” says Nathan. “I knew that I had to find a way to incorporate granny squares into the knitted fabric of the sock itself. The sock has a standard heel flap and gusset construction; however, wherever you are dealing with part of the sock that incorporates a square, you are actually knitting back and forth, rather than in the round - so don’t be caught out by the directions you need to work in! I’ve used browns, reds, oranges and yellows, but I urge you to let your imagination go wild, and come up with bold colour themes of your own.”

Special technique instructions included in pattern: Vikkel Braid is used to join top of granny square to sock
