Pysty-socks have a textured stitch pattern with shadow effect. For the shadow effect of the pattern to be clearly visible it is advisable to use colours which have a clear contrast.

The pattern has instructions for both CUFF DOWN and TOE UP socks for fingering and worsted weigh yarn.

The pattern is written for magic loop, but can easily be modified for double pointed needles.
