Love this pattern? Every week, I send a short, chatty email about what I’m making, what I’m thinking, and what’s coming next. Sign up for the Truly Myrtle Mini-Mag! – it’s like a letter from the friend who designed this.✨

My Little Fishy is exclusively available to Wardrobe Toolbox members until mid 2027.

Some socks are perfectly pleasant to knit. These are not those socks – in the best possible way!

My Little Fishy socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a very comfy heel flap and gusset construction. A very cute colourwork school of fish swims down the leg, and genuinely clever
helical stripes wind through the gusset and foot.

Two colours, one project, and you’ll come away with a great handle on colourwork tensioning and a new stripe technique you’ll probably want to use everywhere. Video tutorials are included to walk you through the stripes, so you’re never left cross-eyed.

If your sock drawer is craving whimsy, and you love entertaining patterns that sneakily teach you things while you’re busy having a good time, this is your pattern!

Perfect for newer sock knitters ready for something new, and experienced knitters who fancy learning a trick or two.
