The Cyclamen Socks echo the beautiful organic shapes typical for the Art Nouveau movement. The lace panel running down the side of the leg and foot swirls around, creating a sense of movement and vibrancy.


The Cyclamen Socks are worked from the cuff down, with the left and right sock being mirrored. They feature a traditional heel flap and gusset.

NEEDLES

This pattern uses the magic loop technique, which requires using a circular needle with a cable length of at least at least 80 cm / 32” instead of double-pointed needles. For magic loop, the front of the leg and top of the foot are worked across the first needle (N1); the back of the leg, heel, and sole of the foot are worked across the second needle (N2).
