This was a really interesting and fun pattern to knit; it looks super-complicated but it’s actually not that bad once you get into the swing. It showcases the variegation of a Zauberball beautifully.

Two balls of yarn next to the part-knitted sock. One yarn is a mix of bright colours; green, cyan, and pink; the other navy blue. The sock’s toe is navy and the rest is a mosaic-style pattern mixing the two yarns.

The puckering also gives a natural elasticity that’s missing from a lot of sock pattern stitch choices. I properly love these!

(It’s Pucker Up because I did the toe-up variation. I still don’t really understand cuff-down.)
