A little bit of this, a little bit of that…we all know about ‘second sock syndrome’, right? I hope this mixture of textures, cables, colourwork and stocking stitch will help you avoid it.
The pattern is totally ‘beginner-friendly’, as it’s pretty detailed. The Colour therapy socks are toe-up unisex socks, as you can play with the colours and you can knit them for men as well.
The pattern contains schematics, charts and written instructions, photo and video tutorials. It has been professionally tech edited and test knitted. Have fun!
