This design marks a new phase in my knitwear design journey: my first ever sock pattern. It's bursting with new techniques and ideas and changing my approach to knitting excitingly and dramatically. Hence the name Dynamism.

A toe-up construction means the foot and leg lengths are adjustable to your desires and needs as you work. The pair also features Latvian-inspired stranded colourwork throughout that is both: easy to memorise and engaging. But the most exciting part is the gusset and the heel.

Finished foot circumference:

• 17.5 (20, 22.5) cm
• 7 (8, 9)“
