Drawing inspiration from the delicate arrangement of flower buds, this top-down sock showcases a beautifully intricate design while keeping the knitting process simple and enjoyable. The lifted over knot stitches—mimicking mock cables—are effortlessly created and captivating to watch unfold. Flowing elegantly along the leg and foot, these stitches form a mesmerizing yet easily memorized pattern. If you’re familiar with ssk, k2tog, and yo, you already have everything you need to knit this stunning sock!
