Inspired by British Paralympian Menna Fitzpatrick who won the Slalom Gold medal in 2018, while I was working on this design.
Columns of twisted rib weave effortlessly down the length of the sock as they are pushed and pulled by the lace design. An aesthetically beautiful design, with very little complexity.
The pattern has two size widths available (9’’ and 10’’ circumference, measured at the ball of the foot) and socks can be knitted to your desired length.
First published in print as part of my book, ‘The Second Drawer Down’ available from www.trulyhooked.com
Materials:
100g sock yarn (see notes below)
2.5mm mini circular needles for socks, or DPNS, or magic loop cable
stitch marker
darning needle
Suggested yarns:
Sample shown used Truly Hooked Standard sock in Hot Pink.
Any sock yarn is suitable for this pattern. Choose wool fibres for stetch and comfort. I deally your yarn should also include nylon for strenght and durabilty. Avoid slippy fibres and select a solid or tonal colour so the cable pattern shows up. Your fabric should be firm,with a little give. Socks should fell 'bandage tight' when first put on, and will relax with wear, like your favourite pair of jeans.
Other yarns used for tests/projects include:
Cygnet Truly Wool Rich 4ply
West Yorkshire Spinners signature 4ply
Garnstudio Drops Nord
King Cole Zig Zag 4ply
Gauge:
18 stitches and 23 rows = 2 inches in lace pattern
