Shadow Dash

I love colour in my projects. The Shadow Dash socks allow a bright pop of colour to shine. The simple slipped stitch pattern makes for a straight forward knit. You might be wondering why it isn’t a repeating pattern. That’s because the dots and dashes reminded me of Morse code, see if you can find the word “knit”. Have fun pairing two of your favourite colours and make your own version of the Shadow Dash socks.
