“…for pure nerve and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor house sixty points.” – Albus Dumbledore

The Ten House Points socks are inspired by the Hogwarts houses created by J.K. Rowling. There are instructions to knit these socks with the House stripes, but they look just as great without them!

These socks are knit two at a time, toe-up, with a simple broken rib texture (alternating stockinette stitch and rib rows). These socks are a bit more complicated than plain vanilla socks but remain fun and satisfying.

This pattern includes written instructions along with some photo references. These socks are great for anyone who is looking to learn a few new sock techniques!
