Designed for Schaefer Yarn’s New Sock Yarn, Nichole!

This project was inspired by the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and all of the action that happened in the Water Cube. Each sock has a wavy lace motif and a strong center seam like a swimmer wiggling through the pool. The cuff is worked with a picot edge for an added splash, and the sides alternate between ribbing and reverse-stockinette for a cube-like effect. The star toe is like a spiral high dive. Have fun with these socks and go for gold!
