This listing is for a PDF Download Only

Inspired by the armor and woven motifs of Genghis Khan’s warriors, the Gobi Steppe Socks use a repetitive pattern of X’s and diamonds to make the most of shifting desert tones. It’s an engaging, rhythm-driven colorwork repeat that’s easy to make and easy to style.

This pattern is worked cuff-down with a diamond gusset for arch shaping, and a wedge toe for versatility. The pattern includes written and charted instructions, helpful tips and tricks, and time efficient video tutorials so you feel supported every step of the way.
