The Golden Spiral Socks are knitted cuff down. After the cuff you begin knitting the lace pattern of the socks. On the back of the sock the lace pattern is knit until the heel and on the front of the sock the lace pattern is knitted until the toes. The pattern contains the lace pattern as charts. Also there are detailed explanations for the heel and the toes.
Please note: The pattern is written for the magic loop method!

Inspiration:
The Golden Spiral Socks are inspired by the Golden Ratio and more precisely by the Golden Spiral, which is pictured in the Spiral lace pattern in the middle of the socks. In the pattern you can find a more detailed explanation of the Golden Ratio and Golden Spiral.
With the right and left sock together the two spirals form a butterfly.
