Gather up your sock yarn scraps and buckle up for this year’s Frankensocks MKAL.

The Naughty Elf is back and this year I am hoping this year he will be more nice than naughty!

This unique Mystery KAL runs from the 1st to the 24th December 2017. Part of the pattern will be released every day and the socks will finish on Christmas Eve. Clues 1-12 will be for the first sock and 13-24 for the second. Join in the fun in the Back of the bus forum.

Each sock will be made up of 12 clues with each clue needing at least 7g of yarn, a little more for the heel clues. We are hoping that this will be a commitment of one hour’s knitting per day which is exactly the me time you need at this busy time of year. The resulting socks may be cuff down or toe up, or even one of each!

The sizes will be be based on the standard S (64 stitches) M (72 stitches) L (80 stitches) but there may be increases or decreases to accommodate different parts of the pattern.

As this is the Back of the Bus, there are no rules. If you want to follow along and make a sleeve scarf, that is OK; if you want to add your own toe/heel/cuff or knit in a different order then that is also OK; if you want to knit at a different gauge, we welcome this. We also recognise that if you knit all 24 clues, these socks will be pretty long, so feel free to skip some clues for shorter socks.

Each project will be its own crazy work of art in the spirit of the Back of the Bus group!

IMPORTANT NOTE As pattern updates (clues) will be added every day between 1st and 24th December, by purchasing this pattern you will be receiving at least one email every day in during this period.

WARNING - this pattern has not been tested!!
