A faux button band is then worked up the side of the leg and the sock is seamed. Fin...

100% British Wool inspired this iconically British waistcoat - cables and textured sections give a modern twist and a casual vibe. I wanted this design to evoke the idea of country life, cordoroys and green wellies, but still be smooth enough to wear for a pint down the pub - without the wellies.

Based on the old Centipede Atari game, lots of bobbles make up the centipede and the tops of the mushrooms. Each mushroom is made from a separate little length of yarn. A little fiddly, but easier than intarsia in the round ;-) The rest of the mushroom is duplicate stitched on afterwards.

I have quite small feet ( UK size 5) so I have written the pattern in two sizes diddy feet (mine) and more normal sized feet. I wrote the pattern so that you can fiddle with lengths of foot and cuff so feel free to play around with it as you will. Just remember if you make them too long/tall you will probably need another skein of wool.
