These socks came out of my desire to use a particular stitch pattern found in Karen Hemingway’s “Super Stitches Knitting”. Her peapod stitch really appealed to me and so I went on a quest for a yarn that would show it off with some wicked stitch definition. Happily for me, Crystal Palace’s Panda Silk turned out to be the perfect yarn for this pattern and, after adapting the pattern for knitting in the round, the combination has made a beautiful pair of socks.
