There’s something steadying about a good rhythm in your knitting—something that makes you want to keep going just one more round. Flickerstep leans into that rhythm. The colorwork pattern creates a flickering, pixel-like texture that looks complex but flows easily once you find your stride.
This is a stranded colorwork sock, worked cuff-down with a standard gusset and heel flap. It’s a great project for knitters who enjoy watching colors shift and build across their needles in a satisfying, rhythmic way. The mosaic-like design works beautifully with high-contrast yarns, but you can get just as much visual interest from softer fades or tonal pairings.
Graded for five sizes (6”/15 cm - 10”/25 cm) and written with both charted and written instructions for the colorwork, Flickerstep is ready to warm up your sock drawer one flicker at a time.
