Starfleet captain in the front, threat ganglia in the back… Sock Trek: Discovery concludes with Saru's socks. The first Kelpien to leave his planet, Saru epitomizes conquering the fear of the unknown and the unwavering quest for new horizons that space exploration is all about.
Knit from the toe up, Saru's socks are worked in a textured stitch pattern made of knits, purls, and twisted stitches. Running alongside the foot is an ornate motif of traveling stitches. A twisted-rib heel flap morphs into more traveling stitches up the back leg.
The sock pattern comes in three sizes: 66, 70, and 74 stitches. Right and left socks are mirror images of each other and can be worked two at a time.
The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology. Both written and charted instructions are provided for all stitch patterns.
