There’s something steadying about a good rhythm in your knitting—something that makes you want to keep going just one more round. Flickerstep leans into that rhythm. The colorwork pattern creates a flickering, pixel-like texture that looks complex but flows easily once you find your stride.

This is a stranded colorwork sock, worked cuff-down with a standard gusset and heel flap. It’s a great project for knitters who enjoy watching colors shift and build across their needles in a satisfying, rhythmic way. The mosaic-like design works beautifully with high-contrast yarns, but you can get just as much visual interest from softer fades or tonal pairings.

Graded for five sizes and written with both charted and written instructions for the colorwork, Flickerstep is ready to warm up your sock drawer one flicker at a time.
