Love Socks

**LOVE SOCKS** The sock is worked top down and combines twisted ribbing with stockinette stitch for a classic yet characterful result. The pattern includes two charts: one for the text on the leg and one for the rose that decorates the heel flap. For the colorwork, the ladder back technique is used to secure the contrast color and create a flexible, well-balanced fabric. The toe is shaped with decreases and finished with Kitchener stitch for a smooth and invisible closure. The sock is worked on double-pointed needles and is suitable for knitters who enjoy texture, charted knitting, and fine details. **Size:** EU shoe sizes 35–36 (37–38) 39–40 women/ US shoe sizes: 5–6 (6.5–7.5) 8–9 women **Needles:** Double pointed needles 2,25 mm US1 & 2,5 mm US1 **Gauge:** 30 sts x 42 rows = 10 x 10 cm/ 4 x 4 inches in stockinette stitch on needles 2,25 mm US1 **Measurements:** Measurements are taken from a blocked sock: Leg length: 11 (11) 11 cm / 4.25” (or desired length) Leg circumference: 20 (21) 22 cm / 8” (8.25”) 8.75” Foot circumference: approx. 20 (21) 22 cm / 8” (8.25”) 8.75” Foot length: approx. 23 (24) 26 cm / 9” (9.5”) 10.25” (adjustable) Note: Making the sock longer will require more yarn. **Materials:** MC: Limmo Design hand-dyed sock yarn (75% wool, 25% polyamide, 100 g = 420 m / 459 yds) CC: Sandnes Sisu (80% wool, 20% nylon, 50 g = approx. 175 m / 191 yds) Yarn quantities: MC: approx 55 (60) 75 g CC: approx 10 g for all sizes Want to see more of my work?
