Product Details

Thunderstruck sock has been designed as a quick knit - using double knit or sport weight yarn. The easy pattern design on the leg uses only knit and purl stitch, and has an 8 stitch pattern repeat.  The stitch pattern gives a lovely textured design to the leg fabric of the sock - reminiscent of a zig-zag or double parallelogram effect. Suggested gauge is 7 stitches per 2.5 cm measured over Stocking Stitch using 4mm needles or 6 stitches per 2.5 cm using 3.75 mm needles. Please note, however, the gauge is a suggestion only. Some knitters knit tightly and some knit loosely - so you may need to go up or down a needle size according to the yarn type or individual knitting style. I like a 'tailored' fit to my socks so I have used 3.75mm needles. I have used 100g of King Cole Galaxy DK, which comes in a range of gorgeous colours, with small sequins spun into the thread for a sparkly effect. Foot length is adjustable.
