Lucy In the Sky

Introducing "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" - an enchanting 2-color stranded colorwork sock pattern that combines style and craftsmanship! This intricate design features a stunning diamond lattice pattern where the diamonds alternate between the main color (MC) and the contrasting color (CC), adding a dynamic flair that culminates beautifully before the toe. The eye-catching pattern is mirrored on the sole, while pinstriped gussets seamlessly transition into a simple stripe running down the sides of the foot for a polished look.

For optimal results, use size 1 (2.25mm) needles for the cuff, heel flap, and toe, while the vibrant colorwork section requires size 1.5 (2.5mm) needles. This delightful knitting project is designed with a 5" leg and a 9" foot, and the designer utilized approximately 70 grams of the main color and 50 grams of the contrast color. With each stitch, immerse yourself in a world of creativity - picture yourself journeying on a train in a bustling station, skillfully knitting these eye-catching socks. Just be warned: they may leave you with dreams of kaleidoscope eyes!
