Mosaic Socks
"Ankle, standard or knee length - this showstopper crochet sock pattern is sure to keep you cosy whichever length you choose! Using the overlay mosaic crochet technique you can create complicated looking socks with the simplest of stitches. Working from the toe up with an afterthought heel (added after you make the sock) you can make these adult socks in two sizes and any length you like! But this is a great pattern to try out something new and learn how to crochet long socks!"
