Stone’s Throw Sock Knitting pattern is a unique stranded sock pattern, which is an ideal way to get familiar with Fair Isle Sock Knitting.
The entire sock is knit using two colours, resulting in an extremely comfortable and durable sock. Only two colours are used throughout.
The clever use of two multicoloured yarns gives endless possibilities for variation. The floats are very short, so it’s easy to get even tension.
Sizes: average adult 9” foot circumference, length is adjustable, the instructions make a sock that will fit a men’s 41 - 43 or 8 - 10 Tip: A smaller foot circumference is achievable by going down a needle size or two, do a swatch to check.
Materials: Sock yarn 100 g balls in 2 different variegated colours ( darkA and light B ), ensure good contrast throughout Yarn length approx. 425 m
Yarn Suggestion: West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4 ply or Paintbox Yarns Socks
