Non-Euclidian

Geometry was my favorite math class in high school; the logic of it just made more sense to me than any other math I’d taken. Even today, I am strangely satisfied by geometric patterns wherever I see them. Designing knitwear has offered me a new way to use geometry and challenged me to translate two-dimensional shapes into three- dimensional objects. This heel was borne of a desire to create a shape that was somewhere between a triangle and a pyramid to hug the back of the foot.

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

work in the round (using knit and purl),

do lifted increases,

do standard decreases (k2tog, ssk, p2tog), and

use Kitchener stitch to graft live stitches.

Most people will need roughly 100 g of fingering weight yarn to knit a pair of these socks; actual yarn usage will depend upon the size made and the length of the foot.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit.
