This is the fifth pattern from Knit the Stars - a 12 pattern collection of Zodiac-inspired socks. By purchasing the ebook you will automatically receive this and all subsequent patterns in the collection when they are released.

Cancerians are deeply sensitive and all about comfort. They also have a keen eye for art and design. This pattern blends these principles nicely with its squishy garter heel and toe and in how the speckled yarn presents differently throughout the socks’ varied stitch patterns.

The pattern includes written instructions for toe up and cuff down construction with two needles using the Magic Loop method but any circular knitting method can be used. Instructions are given for a garter short row heel and tips are given throughout the pattern on technique.
