Anita by Melinda Measor

Knit either top down or toe up, these socks feature delicate cables over the foot top and leg, with a small ribbed cuff. Shown in a stripped yarn to great effect.

The pattern is named after Rita Moreno’s character Anita, who I learned spoke up against lyrics in songs that she was supposed to sing because they were discriminating and the writers changed the lyrics because of her amazing ability to stand up for herself and what was right. I have so much admiration for women who bust barriers like that. Worked in the round, Anita contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for an afterthought heel, but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using. The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer.

This pattern is available as part of the Nights at the Movies sock collection or individually.
