Kivia Socks

The Kiviä (Finnish for stone) Sock pattern includes a simple slip stitch garter and one-by-one color work pattern. The slip stitch garter pattern reminds me of wavering pebbles as seen when looking down through clear water on a bright autumn day. The heel flap and toe are worked in a checkerboard, and stripe, respectively, for a fun feel that will make your feet cool and happy!

In addition to the modest color work, the sock pays homage to all of us who need more room in the calf and not so much for our ankles by incorporating gusset shaping at the back of the leg. The heel gusset is worked at the bottom of the sock for a comfortable “heel pocket” that helps keep the sock from riding up.
