Polar Arc

Polar Arc is the second in a series of love letters from me to gradient yarn (the first is Singularity, and there will be at least one more). It exploits the properties of fabric worked on the bias and reinforced heel stitch to create a heel without a heel turn. Unlike with other sock patterns, you don’t get a break in hue or pattern across the instep because he heel is completely integrated with the body of the sock. So It is is an excellent candidate for showcasing continuously dyed yarns such as gradient, self-striping or self-patterning.
