Polarity Socks (Toe-Up): Knitting Pattern PDF

Inspired by our end-to-end Polarity Hat Pattern, this sock knitting journey begins with a 4-petal flower toe (the compass rose), followed by a series of lacy peaks as you climb the foot and leg of the sock.

This pattern is written in needle neutral terms and can be worked on dpns or circular needles with your favorite small circumference circular knitting method.
