Divalicious Socks

$8.50

Celebrate your cherished local yarn store, Yarn Divas Tea & Fibre Emporium, with the “Divalicious” sock knitting pattern. This design pays homage to the store’s vibrant spirit through intricate cables on the instep and leg, complemented by lively colourwork bands near the cuff, toes, and before the peasant heel. Divalicious is more than a pattern – it’s a joyful tribute to creativity and community, capturing the essence of Yarn Divas in every stitch. 

Worked in the round, Divalicious contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn).

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers – so you don’t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
