Twisty Passages Toe-up Socks

Welcome to an enchanting world of knitting with our unique sock pattern, perfect for any knitting enthusiast! You will find yourself navigating through a little maze of twisty passages — all beautifully different. This delightful pattern features six captivating ‘twisty passages’ of yarn that elegantly journey from the toes to the cuffs (or vice versa). They meet, intertwine, and return to their starting points, creating an intricate and visually stunning colour work design.

Discover the magic of the Estonian colour work technique known as Roositud inlay, which allows you to “embroider as you knit.” This sock pattern brilliantly incorporates this technique in a distinctive way, eliminating the need for yarn stranding across the back. The result? Socks that are so beautifully crafted, they are almost good enough to wear inside out! However, a little weaving of ends is required to achieve that polished look.

Whether you prefer a 'normal' sock gauge or want to experiment with your own, simply select the stitch count and heel instructions based on your usual stitch and row gauge for plain vanilla socks. Rest assured that the colour work in this pattern does not compromise the stretchiness of your finished project.

The pattern comes with full written instructions, making it accessible for knitters at various skill levels, and features a colour work design that is also charted for your convenience. Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a special gift for a loved one, this pattern will provide you with hours of creative joy and a stunning pair of socks that are sure to impress.
