With spring coming in sight , i thought it a good idea to let me inspire by ‘springy’ nature for a fresh and brandnew Si Sjo Sock trilogy.

Here is the first of three sock patterns.

It is knitted in a special, rather easy, cablepattern that creates a texture with rows of tulip flowers, exactly as the rows that the Netherlands are so famous by the tourists that visit our country.

The Tulips from Holland sock flourishes at best, when knitted in bright colours, with gradient dyed yarn or in semi solids.
I knitted them for the presentation of this pattern also in a -more or less- colourblock version with the beautiful soft and colourful sockmini yarnkit of Manos del Uruguay Fino.

So, if you happens to own enough sockyarn scraps in your stash (gauge 28/34), the colourblock version is a very attractive option as well! For pair knitted in size 38/39 I used approximately 70 grams of sockyarn.

The pattern is written for three sizes 36/37 38/39 and 40/41

Heels are knitted in German short rows technique.

The pattern is part of an ebook that finally will contain three Spring Fever Socks patterns : Hi Hyacinth and Dandelions will follow…

The pattern comes in a booklet that contains a lot of pictures; if you want to save paper & ink, consider printing the uneven pages only.
