Systematic Socks

Mosaic patterns are a great way to create colourwork socks, as you only need to work with one colour on every round. This design uses a geometric slip stitch pattern worked in two shades of Yarnsmiths Merino Sock yarn – a solid pale grey, and a self-striping berry colour – which brings an attractive gradient effect to the knitted fabric.
