Cut yarn, leaving an 8" (20.5 cm) tail. Thread tail onto tapestry needle, draw through rem sts, pull tight to close hole, and fasten off on WS.

Weave in loose ends.

Feny

When you modify a two-dimensional pattern so that at some points the lines are brought together and at others stretched apart, you can create a stunning three-dimensional effect. Victor Vasarely (1906–1997) used this effect in his 1963 work Feny.

For this sock pattern, named after Victor Vasarely’s work Feny, I combined the slip-stitch mosaic technique—to compress the horizontal lines—with shadow knitting—to emphasize bright and clear lines that highlight where they’re wide and stretched. The colorwork leg and instep are worked flat in rows, then the heel, sole, and toe are joined in the main color.
