Støvle Socks

*Støvle means boot in Danish as these socks make the perfect boot sock. I have always loved the look of a chunky sock in boots but I find it hard to fit bigger socks in the boots I wear all year round. And that is how the idea for a faux chunky sock came to be. For the main part of the sock i have included some of my favourite vanilla sock elements - such as a pretty and sturdy eye of partridge heel and a rounded toe. As a bonus the Støvle Socks are the perfect scarp project.* **Yarn & Yardage** **Main Color (Fingering weight):** approx 40 grams - sample used: Lana Grossa, Meilenweit in Tweed 126 - 420 meters / 459 yds per 100 g **Contrast Color 1 (Worsted weight):** approx 30 grams - sample used: Knitting for Olive Heavy Merino in Oatmeal - 125 meters / 137 yds per 100 g **Contrast Color 2 (Fingering weight):** approx 15 grams - sample used a little bit of leftover fingering weight sock yarn **Gauge** 30 sts x 40 rnds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” (st st on 2,5 mm / US1.5) **Needle size** 2,5 mm / US1.5 for the main part 4 mm / US6 for the cuff (see note on needles in the pattern) **Final Measurements** Sock circ: 18,5 (20) 21,5 (23,5) cm / 7.25 (8) 8.5 (9.25)" Final sock length: 21 (22) 24 (26) cm / 8.25 (8.75) 9.5 (10.25)" - To fit sizes 35-36 (37-38) 39-42 (43-45) EU / 4-5 (6-7) 7-9 (10-12) US. *You want to sock to have a few cm (0.75”) of negative ease in the width and another cm (0.5) in the length compared to your actual foot.
