Minttu
Sizes:
1 (2, 3)
Final measurements:
Foot circumference 6.7 (7; 7.5)” /
17 (18, 19) cm.
Recommended ease: 0,4-0,8” / 1-2 cm negative ease.
Foot length: adjustable.
Cuff length: adjustable.
The stitch pattern is quite stretchy, so it fits a range of sizes. If needed, adjust size by going up a needle size or choose a heavier yarn.
Materials:
Yarn: Mieli by Aara
(75% superwash merino wool, 25% nylon,
464 yds / 425 m – 100 g),
approx. 328 yd 300 m - 70 g of fingering weight yarn.
The sample was knit in colourway Väre.
Needles: US 1½ 30’’ 2,5mm 80cm
circular needles.
The pattern is written for magic loop method.
Other: Tapestry needle.
Gauge:
34 stitches and 50 rows = 4” 10cm
in stockinette stitch.
Minttu socks are worked from the cuff down, with a heelflap and gusset. Cables and eyelet lace run down the top of the foot and there’s a cable and twisted ribbing at the back.
The instep is quite roomy, but you can adjust that by decreasing at a faster pace, if you want it tighter. The pattern tells you when to do that.
The pattern was first published in Finnish in Suuri Käsityö 8/2020.
Now there’s also an English translation available.
