Mosaic knitting is my favourite technique - it looks complicated, but is actually so simple to do! You only work with one colour at a time, and the only stitches are knits, purls, and slipped stitches.

I designed this sock pattern with the circuit symbol for a capacitor in mind. However, when I showed it to some friends, all they could see was the letter “I”. Choose two yarns with high contrast, and all “I”s will be on you as you rock your electrifying new socks!

There are 4 sizes: S (M, L, XL), with 56 (64, 72, 80) stitches per round. The sock is worked cuff-down with a heel flap. Instructions are written, and the mosaic pattern is both written and charted. You may use any technique/needles you prefer for knitting a tube in the round.

You are free to sell anything you make using this pattern, but please do not sell the pattern itself or otherwise claim it as your own.
