Digital knitting pattern – not a finished product

The Galaxy Socks feature long legs that reach mid-calf. The
stitch pattern is simple yet interesting and stretchy, making
the socks comfortably fit a wide variety of foot shapes. A
gradient yarn brings the texture to life. This pattern uses
Austermann STEP 6, a machine-washable yarn treated with
the eco-friendly EXP method.

The socks are worked top-down in the round, with calf
shaping decreases. The heel is shaped using short rows
and the toe is finished with classic wedge decreases.
