Pomatomus

Add to Stash

The “Pomatomus” pattern features yarn overs that are fairly subtle, leaving the sock a little airy but not too lacy. The curved twisted stitch ribbing adds asymmetry and depth; the finished socks are reminiscent of blue-green fish scales—hence the name Pomatomus, the genus of the blue fish. If you are up for a challenge, then the Pomatomus is for you.
