Balloon Girl Socks – Street Art Colorwork Knitting Pattern

Bring street art to your feet! Inspired by Banksy’s iconic Girl with Balloon, these socks feature a bold black-and-white colorwork design with a striking red balloon. A wearable piece of art for knitters who love graphic patterns and urban style.

The socks are worked in the round from the top down, starting with the colorwork section, followed by the cuff, heel, and foot. The colorwork is intermediate to advanced (4/5), as parts of the pattern require working with three colors in the same round.

Prefer a simpler approach? You can also knit the design in two colors and embroider the red balloon afterward.

Sizes: EU 36/37–48/49 (7 size ranges)

Yarn: Fingering-weight (4-ply) sock yarn in three colors

  • Main color: approx. 75–100 g
  • Black: approx. 20 g
  • Red: approx. 5 g

Needles: 2.25 mm and 2.5 mm double-pointed needles, or circular needles in the same sizes. Needle sizes are suggestions and can be adjusted to suit your knitting style and achieve an even fabric.

Skill level: Intermediate to advanced colorwork (4/5). Basic sock-knitting skills are required.

The pattern is written for double-pointed needles. Toe-up construction is possible, but instructions for this method are not included.
