Bumpy bobble socks
For years, I’ve been in love with small relief stitches that, scattered across the sock, look like confetti (or snowflakes, if you prefer) and create a wonderfully cheerful effect. I tried single and double purl stitches (too subtle) and various popcorn stitches (too much hassle and unwanted ‘holes’ in the knitting). So it took me a while to discover this ‘bobble stitch,’ and I’m absolutely thrilled with it. Sometimes, you just need to put in a little more effort to achieve the desired result :). I’m delighted to share these ‘Bumpy bobble socks’ with you now. The instructions in this booklet are combined in three languages (Dutch, English and German) under one heading and marked with colors. Since the instructions for knitting the heel and toe are a bit more detailed, I’ve created a separate heading for each language there. It’s self-explanatory. I wish you lots of knitting fun!

For DPNs, magic loop and short circulars
This cuff down sock pattern (with heel flap) is suitable for both knitting with DPNs, magic loop and short circulars.
