Berlin Socks

For these socks I took my inspiration from the Bauhaus School of Architectural Design founded in Weimar, Germany in 1919.

Commonly known as Bauhaus, they combined crafts and fine arts and are known for clean lines and mostly abstract simple useful shapes, angular and geometric with little or no decoration.

Berlin Socks combine simple box shapes using knit and purl stitches, as well as clean lines achieved by knitting into the back loop of a stitch dividing these box shapes.

The socks are worked Cuff down and fit shoe size UK 5-6 (EU 38-39) but can easily be size adjusted.

For smaller size work less pattern repeats in leg & foot measurement. 

For wider socks increase in units of 5sts – for extended leg or foot measurements just work more repeats of the pattern. You may need more yarn if changing the size up.
