$7.00

Geometric Groove is the perfect sock knitting pattern for individuals who desire a contemporary style and have a deep appreciation for vibrant colours and sophisticated designs. This pattern transforms ordinary socks into extraordinary pieces of art, featuring a dynamic interplay of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal stripes. Each stripe, meticulously crafted with diverse colourwork techniques, brings a lively rhythm to your knitting experience.

The Geometric Groove pattern also offers versatility with its detailed instructions for corrugated ribbing on the cuff, giving your socks a snug, textured finish. For those who prefer a more classic look, a standard cuff option is also provided, ensuring that every knitter can customise their creation to perfection. Whether you’re knitting for yourself or gifting a handmade treasure, Geometric Groove promises a satisfying project with stunning results.

Worked in the round, this versatile sock pattern offers a seamless knitting experience by providing both cuff-down and toe-up written directions, catering to your preferred sock construction. Youโ€™ll also find a clear and concise chart for the pattern motif, ensuring that you have all the tools you need to create these beautiful socks. While the pattern comes with instructions for a short row heel, it’s adaptable to your personal preferences and unique feet. Links for alternative heels have been included!

With multiple sizes thoughtfully incorporated, you can easily achieve the perfect fit for yourself or for the lucky recipient of your hand-knit socks. This pattern truly embraces size-inclusivity, making it a wonderful option for a wide range of individuals.

Weโ€™ve written this sock pattern for the magic loop knitting method in mind. However, you can also work on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead if you prefer (just use extra markers to denote the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
