This undulating and elongating pattern of ribbed columns is inspired by gemstones and crystal prisms. The colors and striations of this yarn are reminiscent of blue-green variations of apatite minerals, also called Moroxite. This pattern shines on its own with lots of textural interest and also has many solid blocks to highlight the inherent beauty of your yarn.
These socks are worked toe up with a standard short row heel. The strong ribbing means it should also fit smaller feet snugly, and instructions are included for how and where to lengthen or shorten the foot. Three different toe shapes are included: you can create identical wedge toes for each foot, or you can knit slanted left and right toes with each sock leaning more inward.
