Heliotrope

PDF Knitting Pattern

Worked from the toe up, this sock pattern is a juicy one to get stuck into, with it’s pattern of leaves, cables and open knot stitches extending neatly up into the cuff. The heart pattern flows up the front of the foot, and the chain-like cables run up from the heel.

This sock knitting pattern was originally designed with Artesano Definition sock yarn, which has since been discontinued, however West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply is a great substitute and have a similar shade. It’s a really fun pattern to get stuck into, as each repeat is so large, you’re done in no time.
