The Vastness of Space Socks are inspired by… the vastness of space. (Sorry, this one was pretty literal!) When I bought this fantastic solar system yarn, with accurate sizes and distances to scale, I knew it needed a pattern that suited it; something that was as nerdy and unique as it was, without losing the integrity of the striping. So I developed this pattern — a striping-friendly sock with a cable that uses the Fibonacci sequence to determine how far to go before crossing the cable again. The crosses get farther apart as you work the sock, like how the objects in our solar system spread out as you travel away from the sun.

Pattern Description

These socks have tidy, well-defined cables placed asymmetrically on each sock and with subtly mirrored crossing directions. The socks are knit toe-up with an afterthought heel and a twisted-rib cuff. They are available in three unisex adult foot circumferences and the foot length and leg height are completely adjustable. Corresponding written instructions are provided for the charts.

This pattern requires the knitter to knit a small circumference in the round (the pattern is method-neutral to suit your preferred technique) and clearly explains techniques such as relevant cables and picking up an afterthought heel. Within the pattern you will find links to useful video tutorials as well, so the pattern is easily accessible to an intermediate knitter who is just getting started knitting socks.
