The Elemental Socks pattern comprises four main design points: knitting two at a time, toe to ankle, a provisional seam for the heel, and a bind-off worthy of all socks, all while following a standard assembly. Though sock aficionados can be particular with their sock construction this pattern allows for the knitter to customise the particulars in width, length, fabric density, and texture with the yarn of their choosing.

The following instructions guide the knitter to work two pairs of socks at the same time on one long circular needle, beginning at the toe, working the foot to build a seamless row for the heel which is then knit and grafted after the cuff is bound off.

Four styles of socks included in this pattern are:

Air basic no-frills socks which show off the qualities of the yarn, great for a variegated or self-striping

Water with contrast toe, heel, and striped cuffs

Fire are adorned with the classic Balsam Knits Feather Motif up the foot, have a reinforced achilles, and picot-like bind-off

Earth socks with all the extra details of contrast toe, heel, Feather Motif, reinforced heel, stripes at the cuff and fancy bind-off.
