DESCRIPTION

These socks are knit cuff down, with stranded color work on the leg, and a heel flap and gusset.
This pattern is not written for a specific way of working in the round, so use any method you prefer. I used a combination of magic loop and 9-inch circular needles.

INSPIRATION

“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
John 1:29

The Paschal Lamb image represents Christ – our Passover Lamb – who has conquered death and enables us to live in freedom from the bondage of sin.

I hope you find peace meditating on this truth while you knit and wear these socks!
