Product Details
One of my favourite ways of showcasing stitch patterns is to knit them into socks; by the time you have got to grips with the stitch pattern you are ready to tackle the heel, so socks always have something interesting going on, even if the pattern is the same throughout the sock. I've named the socks ‘Contorto’, which is Italian for twisted, after the beautiful twisted cables in the stitch pattern.
The Contorto socks are knitted from the toe up and use a gusset and heel flap construction. A table of gauge-dependent gusset lengths is included to help you achieve the perfect fit.
The following options are provided in the pattern:
• The Contorto pattern on top of the foot and round the leg, with either cabled or 2 x 2 rib for the cuff
• The Contorto pattern on the top of the foot and the front of the leg only, finished with 2 x 2 rib for the cuff
• Charts to create either fully matching-socks, or mirrored, fraternal socks
The socks can be knitted on DPNs, short circulars or using magic loop.
