Show off those smarts with your socks! A textured pattern to echo a raven’s wing, gives these socks a smart look.

Skill Level: Adventurous beginner—These socks are patterned entirely with knits and purls. If you know basic sock construction
(or are willing to jump into it and follow the pattern), you
can knit this pattern.

Materials
Approximately 350-400 yards (320-365m) of sock yarn. Obviously, in Blue or Bronze! (Or not). The socks pictured here are a size large and used ~385yds of Georgetown Organic Studio Sock from Neighbourhood Fibre Co.

Needles & Tools
US1 (2.25mm) sock needles. The pattern can be followed
with either DPNs or a long circular needle, using the
Magic Loop method. You will also need a tape measure, tapestry needle, and scissors.

Gauge & Sizing
Gauge: 32 stitches and 36 rounds per four inches or
10cm, measured in stockinette stitch.

Sizing: Small (Medium, Large, Extra-large) socks measure
8(9,10,11) inches around—and the pattern is quite elastic.
