Prismatic // a lacy top-down sock knitting pattern by Tabetha Hedrick

With lace sprinkled across the fabric like a prism of colour, these playful socks are the perfect small project to knit. A touch of twisted rib at the cuff and a fun stitch pattern allow the yarn to shine.

Knit Prismatic in your favourite colour of Tough Love Sock for a cozy project that is both perfectly soft and long wearing. The socks are knit from the top down and feature a traditional heel flap and wedge toe.

The 4-page pattern PDF features both written and charted stitch patterns.
