♫ The Music ♫
Shades & Shadows is a powerful and moving instrumental tune by modern composer Peter Gundry. The ebb and flow of the melody are a perfect match for the lovely cables in this design.
What’s so special? The Shades and Shadows socks have a unique heel that’s very cushy.
Features:
The socks are worked toe-up beginning with a barn toe.
The instep is worked in a Bavarian twisted stitch cable pattern which begins with an opening V-shape while the sole is worked in Stockinette stitch (knit every round).
The gusset increases are worked at the sides of the sole.
The heel is turned using a short row heel cap which means no picking up stitches.
The heel flap is worked in a slipped-stitch moss pattern; this pattern stitch is very compact and therefore is worked on larger needles.
The Bavarian twisted cable pattern continues from the instep on the front and back leg.
