Sloping Hills Socks

Knitted in cosy DK (8ply) yarn, the Sloping Hills socks are a quick knit and have the addition of purl stitches to create texture and interest in the pattern. The purl "slopes" are easy to follow in both written and charted instructions, and the pattern is repeated on the front and the back of the socks.

They have a heel flap and gusset; the heel flap is created with slip stitches to give a comfortable, cushioned heel. The pattern is written for four sizes from 8 - 9½ inches (20-24cm) foot circumference.

This pattern can be used on its own or if you need more help, in conjunction with the Winwick Mum Sockalong beginner sock knitting tutorials.

The yarn pictured is Baa Baa Brighouse Baa Baa Brew DK in Strangstry.
