Shred It!
SHRED IT! is a unisex stranded sock pattern that is knit top-down. The cast on is a stretchy, decorative Estonian version of the Double Start Cast On. A tutorial is shared, as are chart notations, to aid those new to jacquard ladders with background on how to manage long floats. Mirrored charts are available for the three sizes and guidance is provided for motivated intermediate knitters who might be considering a first experience knitting from a gusset chart. An optional alternative method of picking up gusset stitches that results in a good fitting heel is suggested. A faux inlay is knit into the sole to add novelty. Opportunities are available for confident knitters to experiment with color dominance. Both experienced intermediate and advanced level knitters will find the sock motivating to knit, easier than it appears, and hopefully will have a chance to try out a new technique or two.
Yardage: MC 266 – 374 yards (242 – 341 m); CC 190 – 281 yards (172 – 288 m)
Special thanks to those who have helped with test knitting niemiecp, oldhyde, boss75w, mimi999 stricktanteplus, Drahdiwawal, thesnugglyferret, and to others who have provided encouragement and feedback to be able to successfully communicate in print an idea that was born while creating a novel sock for a very special nephew. I hope that you enjoy knitting “SHRED IT!”
Though a FREE Ravelry download, this pattern is my property. Because of this users may not profit from my work or make copies to share with others.
Because the pattern is free, there is no avenue available for designers to notify “purchasers” of updates. Check back here for ERRATA and/or updates.
