Product Details
The Cruel Summer Socks were inspired by the original pink and blue Lover bodysuit from The Eras Tour. I have written and picture instructions for most techniques, but you may find watching a video useful if you have never worked the techniques before. The socks are knitted from the cuff to the toes in the round. I use small circular needles, but you can use the magic loop method or DPNs based on your preference.
Techniques used: knitting in the round, decreasing using k2tog and SSK, increasing using YO, picking up stitches, kitchener stitch (instructions included in pattern), colour work
Yarn:
Any DK weight yarn. I have used:
Valley Yarn Superwash DK (25m/50g) in pink, wild rose and light blue
The total amount of yarn will vary depending on foot size. For a medium sock knitted for a UK size 6 foot I used 47g total for the normal length sock.
Gauge:
Knitted in stockinette stitch: 24 stitches by 34 rows
