Maris Zigzag Socks

> Celebrate the launch of Maris Zigzag Socks with 15%. Use coupon code: MARIS. Valid until 10/5/26. The Maris Zigzag Socks are a rhythmic, engaging knit designed for knitters who enjoy working socks using the Magic Loop method. Written specifically for small-circumference knitting on a long circular needle, Maris keeps the knitting simple and portable while creating beautiful texture without requiring constant attention. The flowing 7-stitch zigzag motif wraps around the leg and continues down the instep, creating a striking texture that is easy to memorize and satisfying to watch emerge with every round. The pattern can also be modified for knitters who prefer double-pointed needles (DPNs). Like all of my sock patterns, Maris features my signature reinforced sole, designed to add extra durability and cushioning to the areas of hand-knit socks that tend to wear out first. Short rows incorporated into the toes provide additional shaping for an even better-fitting sock. With three adult sizes and two heel flap lengths, Maris gives you plenty of flexibility to create a pair that feels comfortable and personalized. Whether you're knitting with a special skein you've been saving or looking for a relaxing sock project to take along in your project bag, Maris is designed to keep your hands happily moving and your feet cozy for many miles to come. > “A lovely pattern to relax with. The zig zag pattern being a 7 stitch run makes it easy to remember and to understand how the pattern should look.” —Suzanne L. **Pattern Details** **Construction:** Worked from the cuff down with a textured leg and instep, traditional heel flap and gusset construction, and optional reinforced sole with short-row toe shaping.
