The Eventual Ghost Socks feature a shadow / illusion knitted ghost that appears or disappears depending on the viewing angle. They are made in Halloween themed yarn or Christmas themed yarn for a ghost suitable for either event, as a Halloween Boo, or the Ghost of Christmas Past, that appears eventually.

Other features are a slipped stitch border that hides the jog, contrasting 2-round stripes, a contrast heel and toe, a short-row garter stitch heel and a twisted rib stitch cuff. They are constructed from the toe up.

There are 4 sizes available:
To fit foot circumference: 20.5-23 (23-25, 25-28, 28-31)cm / 8-9 (9-10, 10-11, 11-12)” with approximately 2.5cm / 1” negative ease. If you are in two sizes, choose the smaller for a snug fit.

Foot length is adjustable within the pattern. The finished socks measure approximately 1.5cm / 0.5” less than actual foot length for a good fit.

Gauge: 34 sts & 48 rnds = 10cm / 4” over St st on 2mm needles after blocking.

Needles: Circular or double pointed needles suitable for working small circumferences and Judy’s Magic Cast On, in the size that achieves gauge.

Yarn: 4-ply / fingering weight yarn in at least 2 different highly contrasting colours. We have used 3 to add a contrasting toe and heel.
