The Arctic Sun Socks are a two-colour stranded colourwork sock pattern worked in DK weight yarn, featuring a traditional Nordic-inspired all-over pattern with a bold, graphic quality.

The colourwork motif is arranged symmetrically across the leg and foot, creating a visually satisfying result that draws on the rich tradition of Scandinavian stranded knitting. A reinforced slip-stitch heel is incorporated into the construction, significantly improving the durability of the finished sock in a high-wear area – a practical detail that extends the life of handknitted hosiery considerably.

The pattern is suitable for knitters who are comfortable with two-colour knitting in the round and working from colourwork charts. Worked in a sturdy DK weight sock yarn, they make a satisfying project for anyone interested in combining traditional colourwork technique with functional, everyday accessories. Arctic Sun Socks are also included in the Year 2 Anniversary Knitting Pattern Bundle alongside ten other designs.
