What gift can be more heartfelt than the one you’ve made with your own hands? The one you put in time and effort to make for that specific person? It doesn’t have to be a romantic partner, just make them for someone you love - maybe it’s yourself?

Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 23 cm/9”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles or by adding or removing some rows.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

Approximate weight needed (if sticking to gauge):

MC: 60 g
CC: 10-15 g for each CC (4 colours)

Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles will work if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Pattern is available in English.

Techniques used: Picot Edge, Corrugated Ribbing, Stranded Colourwork, German Short Row Heel, Duplicate Stitching (optional), Kitchener Stitch.

The pattern has links to my accompanying videos on Youtube which explain some of the technical aspects of the work: How to work with magic loop; How to sew the kitchener stitch; How to do a Duplicate Stitch; How to knit a German Short Row Heel.
