Rille Strømper

Rillestrømper is a simple but super comfortable sock that very easily becomes the favorite sock in the family.

The socks are worked top down and ends with the toe. This leaves an option to knit the exact length you prefer.

The measurements in the pattern are indicative, but you can follow the instructions on how to get the right size.

The socks can be knitted in all kinds of stripes and patterns as well as you could opt for stockinette stitch after

the ribbing. Socks in general are great for using up stash yarn. Also it’s very addictive both to knit and to use hand

knitted socks.

Sizes

Circumference of the shaft lying flat/extended approx: 13/20 (15/23) 17/26 (19/29) cm

The size should be determined by the width of the shaft rather than shoe size, as the sock

is knitted in the length that fits the foot, where the number of cast-on stitches determines the

width of the stocking.

You will find your size by choosing the circumference that suits you and it is recommended to

choose a size that is a little tight from the beginning, as the stocking will expand in use.
