Yarn: fingering weight, approximately one 3.5 oz./100 g skein; actual yarn usage will depend on size made and length of foot
Needles: US 1 (2.25 mm), or size needed to obtain gauge
Gauge: 36 stitches and 38 rounds = 4 in./10 cm in stockinette stitch in the round
Sizes: To fit foot circumference of 7 (8, 9) in./18 (20.5, 23) cm
This stitch pattern started as an abstract sketch, but once I knit it up, it looked to me like a lantern burning in an opening that resembled an eye. Child of the ’80s that I am, I immediately started singing the lyrics to the old Bangles song:
Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you feel the same?
Am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?
These socks are knit from the cuff down, with a heel flap and gusset and a wide toe that is finished by grafting. The stitch pattern is both written and charted and includes lace stitches (yarnovers, basic decreases) and cable twists.
This pattern has been professionally tech edited.
