Hermes
Socks Hermes have been created in memory of my first passion, ancient Greek and mythology. Hermes, in Greek mythology, was the messenger of gods. He has winged feet and his emblem is a caduceus. So, to feel as Hermes in our socks, I think the easiest way is to draw a caduceus on the top of the feet and give some wings to sides and ankle. About techniques : this is a toe-up knit, So you begin with the toes and finish with the ankle. This pattern is knitted with one circular needle and magic looptechnique. This pattern is knitted with negative ease. It means everythingis calculated sothat the sockfitscloselyto the footwithoutpressingit. This pattern contains two charts that allow you to adapt the length to your foot. So, ready to fly with comfy socks ? :)
