Killieleepie
The Scots word for a kingfisher, Killieleepie is a fun sock pattern with slipped stitch cables creating a gentle rippling pattern up the side of the foot. Knit from the toe up with a gusset and heel flap and flexible length fitting on the foot and the leg, these socks are a great knit for everyone!
The pattern is fully written with charts for the cables and has been tech-edited and test knitted. There’s a screenshot of the knitting pattern, and a list of the stitches used at the bottom of the photos. You will also need to know how to do a double sided cast-on like Judy’s Magic Cast-On and a stretchy bind-off like Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off. A photo-tutorial for cables without a cable needle is included.
