’Bron’ is the Dutch word for a spring, or source, of water. The colourwork pattern in this design makes me think of the way the water swirls when the sunlight catches it. With just a 4 stitch repeat, this pattern is easily memorized and quite possibly the most addictive one in this series.

This sock design is part of the Subtle Sock Collection E-book. It’s a stranded colourwork sock, knit toe-up, features a gusset, shortrow heel and heelflap, and a twisted ribbed cuff. The pattern is written in a clear step-by-step manner, so that no previous knowledge of knitting socks is required. Experience with colourwork knitting is advised.

The patterns are available in six different adult sizes (women small-medium-large and men small-medium-large).

Gauge: 34 sts and 36 rounds = 10x10cm measured over stranded colourwork knit in the round. I achieved this gauge on a 2.5mm/US1.5 needle.

The pattern is written for circular needles but you can also knit it on DPNs.

This sock design uses 2 different yarns: Scheepjes Metropolis for the solid pattern colour, and Scheepjes Our Tribe for the variegated/gradient background colour. For the smaller sizes, you will need 1 ball of each. For larger sizes (women’s large and all men’s sizes) you will need 2 balls of Scheepjes Metropolis and 1 ball of Scheepjes Our Tribe.
