Moon Phase Socks are a whimsical love note to the Moon! Fun and engaging stranded knitting evoke the moon in all it’s phases, stars, halos and moon beams. Combined with an otherwise vanilla style sock this patterns makes for a nice balance of techniques and a great project for that special sock set.

The pattern is offered in cuff down construction, includes 3 adult sizes and a heel flap and gusset heel constuction. I’ve also included my Stranded Colourwork Socks guide with your purchase. The pdf has all my favourite tips and tricks for an easier stranded knitting experience and socks that fit!

This pattern has been a collaboration with Stephanie of Blackbird Sycamore Yarn, find her shop here.
