Product Details
The “Fast as FUN” socks are simply what the name implies: They are fast and fun to knit.
They are made using fingering weight yarn held double for both the main colour and the contrasting colour.
Each round is only knitted using one colour, alternating the working yarn at the beginning of round. The simple but effective stripy texture only uses knits and purls and is very easy and encouraging to knit.
The special thing about this sock pattern is that it can be knitted in whichever direction you prefer (toe-up or top-down) using the same stitchpattern in general and the exact same instructions for the heel.
The heel is constructed with “short rows” using ssk/ k2tog and picking up the stitches again later out of these decreases. This technique creates an interesting line at the sides of the heel. I call this way of knitting the heel my “Lazy Reversible Heel”.
The ”Fast as FUN” socks are perfect for using scrap yarn and as a last minute gift!
