Diamonds & Dots are a comfy, cozy pair of textured socks. They are worked using an easy knit and purl combination that results in repeated panels of small diamonds.

I used 1 ball (100 g) of Isager Sock yarn, a lovely, soft 3-ply yarn processed using the “Easy Wash” method, making it an environmentally friendly option.

The socks are knit from the cuff down to the toe. The heel is shaped using the heel flap method and the toe is grafted together with Kitchener stitch. Instructions are written for double pointed needles, however Magic-Loop technique can be used if preferred.

This pattern has been test knit.
