Welcome to the sixth pattern of Year of Meditation! This design is for Mabon, which is usually September 21. Beginning the socks at Lughnasadh should allow enough time to complete your project and have the chance to wear your socks while enjoying something refreshing on Mabon. Included is a mini-magazine with a recipe, information about wolves, and a meditation.

This is a wonderfully simple design of 1/1 cables and slipped stitches that have enough repetition to be meditative while still keeping your interest to the end. The design represents the way our voices rise in song or celebration. It would look great with tonal, gradient and handspun.

You’ll need a skein of sock yarn (between 250-375 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 Full Moon in One Voice and used 295 yards.
