Diamond Tread Socks

**Diamond Tread Socks: A Unique Knitting Pattern Inspired by Industry** Originally released as the December pattern for Twisted's renowned 2012 Head to Toe Club, the Diamond Tread Socks have captivated knitters with their distinct design. Mark your calendars! This pattern will become available to everyone starting March 1, 2013. The inspiration for these socks comes from my husband, who has a knack for naming my creations with surprising flair. He often throws around whimsical titles for the hand-dyed yarn I use and the various designs I’m working on. His recent suggestion for these beautiful socks, "Diamond Tread," references the textured, grippy material commonly found on semi-truck steps and other heavy-duty surfaces. While his suggestions usually evoke a chuckle, in this case, it struck a chord. The intricate pattern truly resembles Diamond Tread, making this design not only aesthetically pleasing but also meaningful. So, Stefan, this one's for you! **Helpful Knitting Information:** - **Notions Needed**: For this pattern, you'll require a tapestry needle and four stitch markers to guide your knitting journey. - **Skill Level**: The Diamond Tread Socks are categorized as an intermediate-level project.
