Love is Strange

Love…. Love is Strange. This delightfully cabled sock pattern takes its inspiration from the Love is Strange dance scene in Dirty Dance, joining the Night at the Movies sock pattern as our September addition.

PATTERN INFO

Love is Strange – Worked in the round, Love is Strange contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for an afterthought heel, but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using.

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer.
