This Way That Way Socks

Pattern Information:

Life is an adventure – some days send you “this way,” while others send you “that way.” On particularly busy days, life sends you both “this way” and “that way” – sometimes even before breakfast! These socks are a fun tribute to those days.

Knit a pair of This Way Socks, a pair of That Way Socks, or pair that combines both stitch patterns. Using a 22-stitch motif with twisted stitches worked every other round, this pattern will best show when knit with a solid or tonal yarn.
