Loop - Anniversary Sous Sous Pattern
To celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we're beyond delighted to reintroduce one of our most beloved designs—Sous Sous —in a stunning new 4ply version by the original designer, Norah Gaughan.
This reimagined version brings fresh elegance to a timeless favourite, now knit in The Uncommon Thread's Everyday 100% Merino, offering softness, drape, and modern charm. With a few subtle refinements, Sous Sous II is more beautiful than ever.
Originally inspired by the ballet term sous sous—a graceful movement that shifts from side to side, back to front—this design captures the same fluidity and rhythm that knitters love.
Please note: this is a printed pattern not a digital file. If you'd like a PDF copy you can purchase that through Nora's Ravelry page.
Available also as a kit, Sous Sous is ready to dance off your needles.
