Notes:
This is my second time knitting this sock pattern and it certainly won’t be the last. Its a pattern designed to be used for striped socks whether that be self-striping yarns or scrappy yarns. (I might have to try a scrappy version in fact).
It’s a cuff down pattern but I prefer to knit my socks toe-up. S,o I started with a Turkish cast-on and increased to the 64-stitch count. I followed the pattern as written and opted for an offset of the slip stiches. I did my usual Fish Lips Kiss heel and finished with a 2×2 rib (I think about 20 rows). Then bound off with the elastic bind off. (Both the cast-on and bind-off mentioned here are linked to in my Vanilla Sock Recipe – Free Download here)
The yarn is beautiful from Laura (the Lonely Knitter)- lovely clear and even stripes through the whole skein.
