Meraki

Meraki is one of my favourite words (is it weird to have favourite words?). Meraki is Greek, originally derived from the Turkish word merak and means “to do something with passion, with absolute devotion, with undivided attention; to put something of yourself into whatever you’re doing.” I think this is one of the most beautiful words in the world and perfectly describes the joy I feel when I create something from nothing like this new sock design.

Meraki is worked from the toe up and features a delicate cable pattern on the top of the foot. After a Fleegle heel, the stitch pattern continues on the front of the leg to the ribbed cuff. The pattern includes both written and charted instructions as well as a schematic.
