Welcome to the fourth pattern of Year of Meditations! This design is for Litha, which is June 20. Beginning the socks at Beltane should allow enough time to complete your project and have the chance to wear your socks while sipping something tangy on Summer Solstice. Included is a mini-magazine with a recipe, information about mountain lions, and a meditation.

This is a wonderfully simple design of 1/1 cables and twisted stitches that have enough repetition to be meditative while still keeping your interest to the end. The design represents the subtle and not-so-subtle courage needed to get through the seasons. It would look great with tonal, gradient and handspun.

You’ll need a skein of sock yarn (between 275-350 yards, depending on the size and length you make) and your favorite sock needles (I prefer using the “Magic Loop” method of knitting socks). You also might like to have handy your favorite mug of coffee or tea, a bouquet of flowers, or even a happy song list playing in the background.

The sample was knit with Cauldron’s Path Yarns Frost Moon in Summer Rising and used 275 yards.
