Megaliths Socks

$6.00

Megaliths is now a Megacollection! Get the entire collection (fingering weight socks, sport tee, DK hat, and bulky hat) for $20!

Sometimes a pattern comes to my mind fully formed. That was the case with the easy colorwork for Megaliths – and knitters have responded, making multiple Megaliths Hats in multiple color combos, each better than the last. So let’s try it on socks, shall we? Knit from the top down in 6 sizes, the Megaliths Socks are the perfect chance to play with color – and use up some leftover scraps, too!

This sock is a great first colorwork pattern. It’s knit from the cuff down with a cuff, heel, and toe in a contrast color. Much of the sock is in glorious (and quick!) stockinette.

NOTE: When you purchase this pattern on this site, you will receive a download code good for 24 hours only. This pattern will not store in any kind of library. If you would like to store this pattern in your Ravelry library, please purchase via Ravelry here.

  • “It’s a good beginning colorwork since there’s no floats to trap!”

  • “I liked it a lot, the color work section was a lot of fun and it was nice to have some stockinette.”
