This pattern is the May sock in my Westknits Year of Socks e-book. This pattern is available exclusively as part of the Westknits Year of Socks 2025 e-book. You will receive a new sock pattern update at the beginning of each month until all 12 socks are released by December 2025. The sock patterns will be available to purchase individually in 2026.
These top-down socks are knitted with one main color and three contrast color pops in fingering weight sock yarn. Stripes and slip stitches form the zig zag parallelogram motifs that flow from the leg into the top of the foot. Stockinette stitch stripes decorate the bottom of the foot for a smooth sole. The cuff features 3x3 ribbing and the heel flap is knitted in easy breezy garter stitch. Choose a light or dark main color that contrasts with three playful contrast colors for a bold geometric effect.

I’m almost packed to go. Dad and Beth went to Peterborough early this morning for a meeting. We were all up at 6am to get them ready to go. After they left the dogs and I had a nap and then I got everything into my suitcase. It is extremely full - knitwear takes up a lot of room. There are many shoes to match the knitwear.
I leave for the airport at 5 and the plane leaves at 9pm. I should get a good night sleep and I’ll be at the show at 10am. There will be lots of pictures over the next few days.
