Pay What You Can: In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “PWYC” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

To purchase the pattern at a price point that is more accessible to you, use the coupon code at checkout listed next to the price point. The prices indicate the price you will pay, not the discount amount. No coupon code is needed for the highest price point.

Inspired by the beautifully complex Orchid plant, don’t let these top down socks fool you! They use 4 stitches only; knit, yo, k3tog, and sk2p. These simple stitches combine to form a unique all over pattern that is quite addictive to knit. And on top of that, every other row is a plain knit row. Orchids are usually symbolized as a fresh perspective, and I hope these deceptively complex-yet-simple socks do just that for your knitting!
