Frieda's MosaicSocks | knitting pattern | socks, knitted socks

Frieda’s MosaicSocks transform a simple stripe design into something truly special with a clever slip-stitch pattern. The offset stitches form delicate, star-like accents that dance rhythmically across leg and foot, creating a play of contrast and texture that feels both crisp and softly dimensional. Whether you choose subtle shades or bold color combinations, this design always reveals its timeless charm.
Frieda’s MosaicSocks are worked toe-up, starting right at the tip of the toe. After casting on, you increase regularly until you reach the desired width. Once the toe is complete, the slip-stitch pattern begins to unfold. At the heel, additional stitches are first increased, and then the heel is shaped with short rows and decreases. The leg is worked straight in the round, and its height can be customized to your preference.

This pattern is for advanced beginners.
