 These socks were originally inspired by an Art Nouveau themed magazine call back in Summer 2021. After playing with various stitch swatches, what I got instead was a stitch pattern that reminded me more of the Impossible Geometry that is so prevalent in the works of M.C. Escher.

The Blocks Stitch Pattern is made with a combination of slipped stitches and one-over-four cables, this means that the leg and the top of the sock have far less stretch then the stocking stitch sole of the sock.

The socks come in three adult sizes, with a finished leg circumference of 6.5 (7, 8) inches, (16.5, 18, 20.5 cm) and uses between one and two skeins of *Malabrigo Ultimate Sock in "Teal Feather"  They were knit using a set of 2.25 mm (US 1) *Circular Needles,  (though you can absolutely also use double-pointed needles!)

The Impossible Geometry Socks pattern has both written and charted instructions for the Blocks Stitch pattern, and also has a large print version that's compatible with screen-reading technology.

 And remember, as always, I love seeing what you make, or even what yarn you're considering! So please, tag your creations on Social Media with #SarahDawnsDesigns, (or share them in the Discord) so we can all see your awesome things!
