Origin

Introducing the Origin Socks: one of the 7 modern, minimalist sock patterns specifically designed for all natural sock yarns from SOCKS 2018.

Featuring a delicate cable motif encased in a geometric ribbing, topped with one of the most unique cuff shapes we've encountered, the Origin Socks are a stylish choice for any sock enthusiast. This design is perfect for showcasing the strength and beauty of plant-based yarns, such as the ramie found in the Ovis Et Cetera base, enhancing the yarn’s shine and durability. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced knitter, this pattern will keep your creative spirits high!

This pattern utilizes a toe-up sock construction method, giving you the flexibility to customize your fit. You can choose between a traditional heel flap with gusset or a more modern short row heel option, depending on your knitting preference.

The sample was expertly crafted using Ovis Et Cetera Igneae, a luxurious blend of 60% South American wool, 20% ramie, and 20% silk, offering an impressive 425 metres (464 yards) per 100 grams. This blend not only provides warmth and comfort but also ensures that your socks will maintain their integrity over time. A suggested substitute yarn is included for your convenience, so you can easily find the perfect materials for your project.

Whether you're looking to treat yourself or create a thoughtful handmade gift, the Origin Socks pattern is an excellent addition to your knitting repertoire. Dive into this project and enjoy the satisfaction of creating beautiful, durable socks that celebrate the art of knitting.
