Candy Cane Stripes
Pattern is 15% off through end of day 12/4/22 NO CODE NEEDED!
Candy Cane Stripes Socks is a fun play on my Scrappy Stripy Sock Recipe (Found here). This was so much fun to create and knit up!
Pattern includes:
- Written and charted instructions for the color work
- Tutorial links for: German twisted cast on, Kitchener stitch, weaving in ends, and also a link for my how to knit socks tutorials if you need extra assistance for a certain way of knitting socks in the round.
- A video about the pattern with details on how to weigh your yarn throughout to make sure that you have enough, row gauge and how to know when to start your foot stripes, AND I show you how I knit my color work and give some tips on how to make sure that your floats aren’t too tight.
I hope that ya’ll enjoy all of the fun and different combinations that you can do with this pattern. The tips I give on weighing your yarn in the pattern video will open up a whole new world for how to use up scraps and not worry about running out of yarn on that second sock! Grab some scraps, or a mini skein set + full skein, and have some fun! (read below for yarn requirements)
Pattern is written for a cuff down sock with instructions for a heel flap and gusset. If you prefer toe up and have your toe up recipe you could easily insert the patterned section into that.
