What do you see? Trees with pathways in between? Or tracks made by a vehicle driving on muddy ground? Or is it just a beautiful graphic pattern that is completely jogless?

The jogless colourwork is created by knitting just a small pattern over and over (sequence knitting).

CONSTRUCTION
Standard top down sock with a classic heel flap + heel turn + gusset construction. By knitting more or less rounds you can easily adjust the length of the leg and foot.
