Vincent

Vincent (played by Travolta) and Mia (portrayed by Thurman) indulge in a nostalgic dining experience at Jack Rabbit Slims, a charming 1950s-themed restaurant. Amidst the retro ambiance, they take part in a lively twist contest, showcasing their dance moves and ultimately clinching victory, a triumph they celebrate as they head home with the gleaming trophy.

Speaking of twists and turns, the Vincent sock pattern exudes a captivating charm of its own. Delicately adorned with intricate cables and alluring eyelets, the pattern elegantly weaves its way along the sock’s surface, creating a visual journey that mirrors the spirited dance of Vincent and Mia. When combined with the vibrant Brain Storm colourway from Cactus Yarn Studio, the sock becomes a tapestry of memories that seamlessly transport you back to the cinematic allure of the movie itself.

Worked in the round, Vincent 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), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

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).
