Light of the Night socks

The light of the night is the stars. It is the Christmas lights in winter-white gardens and the embers in the fireplace. It is also the lamp that lights up the work of the person who was going to knit “just one more round”.

Light of the night socks have a repeating pattern that can be knitted in as many colors as you like. The round started in the middle of the back, so that the pattern joins in the back of the ankle and in the middle under the foot.

The pattern has four sizes. Sizes are approximate, use measurements to find the right size. Sizes can be changed by knitting with different gauge. Gauge is changed by using thicker/thinner yarn and/or needles. Keep in mind that stranded colourwork is less elastic than knitting with one yarn.
