Let your stitches take flight with a cascade of intertwining feathers that flow gracefully from cuff to toe—or toe to cuff. Knit them your way: the pattern includes both top-down and toe-up instructions. The stitch repeat is wonderfully simple, with every other row worked plain for a low-stress, high-reward knit. The feather motif drifts across your socks like air beyond the clouds, bringing a light, airy touch to your feet. Note: top down socks will have feathers flowing downwards, and toe up socks upwards.
