Tesserae Sock
knitting pattern

An allover mosaic pattern extends down the leg and over the top of this top-down sock in four sizes. A simple arrangement of knits and purls yields a subtle, sleek texture perfect for a conservative sock in solid or nearly solid yarns.
Sock is easily converted to toe-up construction, as the pattern is vertically reversible.
