Knock yourself out of this world with the Blast Off Socks. Knit these colourwork socks and then wear them as a reminder of the things that were once out of reach but are no longer. Knit them in traditional “space” colours or even try glow in the dark yarn for a unique, out of this world pair of socks.

Knit cuff-down, these socks feature a simple colourwork motif on the leg. The heel is constructed using German short rows, before the foot is worked in stocking stitch stripes. The toe decreases are knit before being grafted closed using Kitchener stitch.
