Stargazy Socks

The Stargazy Socks are a top down pattern beginning with a ribbed cuff, with a delicate cable detail. They have a stranded colourwork pattern on the leg and immediately before the toe. They have a rounded French flap and gusset heel, with the flap worked in heel stitch and a slightly rounded wedge toe. The colourwork aims to evoke twinkly stars on crisp winter nights, fireworks and festive lights. **Yarn** Any 4ply sock yarn (100g = 400m / 437 yards) Main Colour - 265m (280 yards) Contrast Colour - 80m (88 yards) **Gauge** - Blocked 35 stitches and 44 rows = 10cm (4”) - in stockinette stitch. 35 stitches and 42 rows = 10cm (4”)- in colourwork **Needles** - Suggested size 2.25mm (US 1) needles for everything except colourwork. 2.5mm (US 1½) needles for colourwork.
