Police Box Sox

A sock pattern for those of us who prefer our time Wibbly Wobbly. While there are many neat Police Box sock type patterns out there, I found that I was forever needing to do some serious modifications to help them fit my feet. Either the colorwork was much too tight, the rest of the sock was much too loose, or I needed to have another sock pattern to use alongside the pattern. No more! This pattern is a complete sock pattern that is knit top-down with a heel flap. Other heel styles can easily be used in place of the heel flap. The idea behind the shaping of this sock is that there are more stitches for the colorwork, which allows the sock to fit the calf, and fewer stitches for the rest of the sock so that it doesn't fall down the leg. **Finished Measurements** Small (Large) 7½ (9)” / 19 (23) cm around ball of foot and calf, unstretched 60 (72) stitch count **Yarn** Knitsch *100% Merino Sock*; 182 yds/ 166m per 1.76oz/ 50g; 100% Merino Wool; fingering weight: 3 (3) skeins in *Tennant* (MC) Koigu *KPM*; 175yds/ 160m per 1.76oz/ 50g; 100% Merino Wool; fingering weight: 1 (1) skein in 5618 *Snow* (CC1) 1 (1) skein in 5601 *Night* (CC2) OR approximately 364 (438)yds/ 333 (400)m (MC) 20 (30)yds/ 18.5 (27)m (CC1) 18 (25)yds/ 16.5 (23)m (CC2) of a fingering weight yarn **Needles/Notions** Size 0 US/ 2.0mm circular needle, 32”/ 80cm or preferred small circular method *Change needle size if needed in order to obtain the correct gauge* Optional: One needle size up for the colorwork if you find that you strand tightly. 2 stitch markers **Gauge** 32 stitches/ 46 rows = 4x4”/ 10x10cm in Stockinette Stitch [1]: http://hollandroadyarn.co.nz/products/policeboxsox-yarnkitpre-order-1
