Not Knot Socks? Or not Not Knot socks? That is the question. Do they have a cabled knot pattern on a garter stitch background? Signs point to yes. Is there a modified top-down Fleegle heel and a wider wedge toe with a cute little baby folded-hem cuff? It is decidedly so. Are warmer feet in your future? Ask again later.

The pattern contains technique illustrations, a ‘how to’ for working this pattern off gauge, both charts and written instructions, handy tips and tricks, and there’s even a little something in there for medieval marginalia connoisseurs! There’s a colourful version, a black and white version for printing, and also a print disability and screen reader friendly version. This pattern has been tested and tech edited.
