These stunning hand-knit socks feature a unique design created from the top down, utilizing a short row heel for maximum comfort and fit. The captivating colourwork introduces a beautiful wave pattern that flows around both the leg and foot of the socks. For the first sock, vibrant chevrons flow in one direction to symbolize the rising flood tide, while the second sock cleverly reverses the chevron direction to represent the ebbing receding tide. This exquisite detail adds a personal touch that makes these socks perfect for ocean lovers and knitting enthusiasts alike.

To create these one-of-a-kind socks, you will need 50g of each of your main color (MC) and contrast color 1 (CC1). Additionally, set aside 20g of contrast color 2 (CC2) for the cuffs, heels, and toes. It's important to note that the intricate colourwork reduces the overall stretch of the socks, meaning you will need to cast on a higher number of stitches compared to standard plain sock patterns.

Whether you're an experienced knitter looking for your next challenge or a beginner eager to explore colourwork techniques, this sock pattern offers both creativity and craftsmanship. Dive into this project to enjoy the satisfaction of creating beautiful, functional accessories that keep your feet warm while showcasing your knitting skills. Perfect for personal use or as a thoughtful gift, these tide-inspired socks are sure to be a favorite in any knitters' collection!
