Anisoptera Sock Knitting Pattern (PDF)

PDF digital download only

The Anisoptera sock pattern is inspired by the majestic Dragonfly. It is a top down sock with heel flap and gusset construction and includes charted and written instructions. The Dragonfly design on the leg of the sock is worked both on the front and the back. On the Craft House Magic YouTube channel there are tutorials on the long tail cast on, knitting a top down sock, and how to knit a bobble stitch to help with this pattern. Click here for full list of tutorials. The price on my website includes VAT, if you purchasing from outside the UK you may find it cheaper on Raverly.
