Droid Socks

The many droids in the Star Wars universe have inspired the design of these socks. The texture, made of little squares and fun easy cables, is a nod to the buttons, wires, and bits and bobs, inside and out of these fun characters that so often are integral to the stories we love so much. I hope this project makes you smile and May the Force be with You! COUPON CODES: Pay what you can!

I went up a needle size to 2.5mm for that reason. If you are a very tight knitter, you may wish to go up an additional size, to 2.75mm. Loose knitters may be able to knit these with 2.25mm though I highly suggest trying on your sock regularly throughout the project to ensure it fits comfortably over your heel. Other notions: cable needle (though the stitch is easily achievable without and instructions include a video demonstration) , stitch markers, scissors, darning needle. Gauge: 8 sts = 1 inch in stockinette Nota Bene: The instructions are written for 2 colours. You may of course decide to knit these socks in only one colour. Simply follow the instructions while omitting the colour changes.
