Sparkling Human Socks
These socks were inspired by my Sparkly Human and Wild at Heart mug and glass set that was a gift from my Mom. The bright colours and cheerful font always makes me smile, and I wanted to try capture the sense of whimsy and joy in these Sparkling Human socks!
Materials:
• One 2.25mm (US size 1) circular needle, 100cm / 40” in length, or set of DPNs or in size needed to meet the required gauge.
• Stitch markers (2), one of which is used to mark the beginning of round.
• Tapestry needle for sewing in threads.
• 1 cable needle, optional.
• Blocking materials.
• Fingering weight (sock weight) yarn, exact yardage may vary and is dependent on size and foot length a 100g skein of sock yarn of the main colour should be suitable for most adult sizes along with oddments of yarn for contrasting colours, I used approximately 6g of each colour to knit 1 stripe of both socks for the leg and foot sections in a size 2, and slightly more for the stripes knitted along the gusset.
