Étude 🎹🎻 Sock pattern

Les Laines Biscotte is pleased to present the pattern for the mystery sock club of March 2021.

ÉTUDE - noun. a musical composition, usually instrumental, intended mainly for the practice of some point of technique.

This name seems to be appropriate for this design which combines both techniques: stranded colorwork 🎹 & cables 🎻.

A classic pattern to practice your skills and perfect your talent, whether musical or not ! ...and why not do it while listening to Chopin's Étude op. 10 no. 3.
