Jolly Jellyfish socks set

**Current promotion: Add 4 Stone Knits patterns (or sets) to your cart and the 4th pattern will be free!** This set includes **two** colorwork sock patterns, inspired by a fun, easy to knit and memorize jellyfish motif! **Disco Jellyfish socks** These socks feature and all over colourwork pattern of adorable dancing jellyfish motifs which I promise are not going to sting your feet! Inspired by magical looking bioluminescent jellyfish, I hoped to capture these creatures glowing in the dark and living in the darkest waters of the sea. This sock pattern only use two colours and are a delight to knit and wear. Using UV reactive neon sock yarn, they can even glow in the dark (with black light!) and look just as entrancing as real jellyfish. Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, these socks have a repeating jellyfish motif and have a short row heel. The toe is finished by grafting stitches together.

Sea Creatures socks are perfect for knitting at the beach or for anyone who is dreaming of a seaside holiday but is unable to get there this year. Inspired by all the photos of tropical beaches, I thought I would recreate some ocean fun for those of us staying at home this year! Wherever you are, whatever the weather, you can put these on, maybe eat some exotic fruit and pretend you are in the Caribbean for a day. These socks have adorable jellyfish and starfish dancing across the leg, all knit with only 2 colours in one row. Perfectly suitable for new colourwork sock knitters! Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, these socks have a contrast colour eye of partridge heel flap and gusset construction, with starfish and jellyfish motifs on the leg.
