Inspired by Philippe Petit’s 1974 wire walk between the two towers of the World Trade Center, this design is meant to capture the linear and geometric beauty of the Twin Towers.

Wire Walker socks are knit from the toe up with a short row heel.

This pattern is suited to knitters of all levels. There is minimal cabling, so the pattern is simple and relaxing to knit.

The simplicity of this pattern makes it a great unisex sock. It is sized to fit most.
