Golden Ticket

“I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe, but suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me. ‘Cause I’ve got a golden ticket…” – Grandpa Joe; Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

A golden ticket is a special find and so are these socks! Worked from the toe-up, this design uses simple knit and purl stitches to create a gorgeous diamond brocade effect. Bands of reverse stockinette leaves are featured across the instep and around the leg of each sock. Worked in Autumn and Indigo’s ‘LOMAH’ colorway, these socks highlight the rich tonal qualities of this hand-dyed yarn in a color that is sure to make your socks look as luxurious as they feel. Looking for an easy-to-work sock with noticeable impact? This pattern is just the (Golden) Ticket!
