Originally written for Mechita by Cory Boberg, now reimagined in Malabrigo Sock to highlight its drape, stitch definition, and — especially — the depth of the newest Aura Collection (see below).
Orienta combines graceful shaping with engaging stitchwork, making it ideal for knitters who love seeing texture and color interact on their needles.
You’ll need 2 skeins Sock Main Color + 1 skein Sock Contrast Color.
Because this design truly shines with contrast, we encourage you to explore bold, high-impact pairings from the Aura Collection. Strong contrast will make the stitch patterns sing — while softer, tonal combinations create a more subtle, atmospheric effect.
This pattern featured in Malabrigo Book 14 (Mechita/Sock Interchangeable). See more great Sock patterns in the Malabrigo Book 20 Mechita/Sock Pattern book.
