Diva

> Love this pattern? Every week, I send a short, chatty email about what I'm making, what I'm thinking, and what's coming next. [**Sign up for the > Truly Myrtle Mini-Mag!**][1] – it's like a letter from the friend who designed this.✨ Bold, playful, and just a little bit extra, Diva is a cuff-down sock that knows exactly what she wants. With slipped stitches dancing through variegated colour, she’s a flirty knit that keeps things interesting all the way to the toe. Designed to let two yarns shine – a sassy solid and a lively variegated – Diva is perfect for showing off bold contrasts, subtle harmonies, or a bit of both. Whether you’re strutting in your handknits or just kicking back on the sofa, these socks will make your feet feel fantastic. Diva uses a cuff-down construction with a heel flap and gusset, and includes both written and charted stitch patterns. She’s a great pattern for new sock knitters – with clear instructions and simple stitches – and she’s entertaining for seasoned sock knitters looking for a project with flair. > Three FREE guides to take the > guesswork out of sock knitting > [**Get the Free Sock Toolkit**][3] **SIZES** 1 (2, 3) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Leg/foot circumference (unstretched): 6.25 (7.75, 9)"/16 (19.5, 23) cm.
