Single slipped > stitches (worked in the main color) > form vertical interruptions to a > background of simple horizontal > stripes that alternate two rounds each > of a main color and a contrasting > color. Ludwig Wilding (1927– 2010) > used similar effects in his > retrospective exhibit Visual > Phenomena. > > In this sock design, named after > Ludwig Wilding, the vertical lines > that the slipped stitches produce are > arranged in chevrons that travel to > the toe of each sock. This simple > pattern is ideal for beginning sock > knitters. **Sizes:** About 7½ (8¾)" (19 [22] cm) foot circumference, unstretched, and 9¼ (10¾)" (23.5 [27.5] cm) foot length from back of heel to tip of toe (length is adjustable).
