Gebet Socks — Stranded Colorwork

A beautifully crafted stranded colorwork sock pattern inspired by a 50-year-old knitting book — and a serendipitous message from a friend. While searching for cross motifs for a project, I received a message from Jess — a model I'd befriended during a book photo shoot. She'd found a 50-year-old knitting pattern book and thought I'd love it. Inside, I discovered a cross motif that looked just like Moomin's Hattifatteners. Realizing that short horizontal lines could form crosses, I immediately designed this pattern. I named it Gebet — the German word for "prayer" — borrowing from Jess's mother tongue. A memorable sock with a story to tell.
