DIGITAL ITEM - Retro Gamer socks

Retro Gamer sock pattern knitting instructions in English only

I designed these Retro Gamer socks in homage to the old games that I used to love playing in the ’90s. I loved their bold, simple
graphics (they look so good on a pair of socks too!). I like to show my love of gaming through my socks. These socks are perfect for any gaming fanatics in your life!

These socks are knit from the top down. Knit with only two colors per round, this sock has a repeating gaming motif that starts from the top of the leg and repeats throughout the foot. The socks start with a ribbed cuff and feature a short row heel. Stitches are decreased for the toe and then grafted together
