My little Fishy

> 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.✨ *My Little Fishy is exclusively available to Wardrobe Toolbox members until mid 2027.* Some socks are perfectly pleasant to knit. These are not those socks – in the best possible way! My Little Fishy socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a very comfy heel flap and gusset construction. A very cute colourwork school of fish swims down the leg, and genuinely clever helical stripes wind through the gusset and foot. Two colours, one project, and you'll come away with a great handle on colourwork tensioning and a new stripe technique you'll probably want to use everywhere. Video tutorials are included to walk you through the stripes, so you're never left cross-eyed. If your sock drawer is craving whimsy, and you love entertaining patterns that sneakily teach you things while you're busy having a good time, this is your pattern! Perfect for newer sock knitters ready for something new, and experienced knitters who fancy learning a trick or two. > Three FREE guides to take the guesswork out of sock knitting [**Get the > Free Sock Tool Kit**][3] **SIZES** 1 (2, 3) **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Leg/foot circumference (unstretched): 5.25 (7, 9)"/13 (17.5, 22.5) cm.
