Shilly-Shally Socks
by Schibot Garne - a knitting pattern for a pair of socks, in German and English.
ABOUT THIS PATTERN:
The name of the pattern says it all: shilly-shally, when you just can't decide! I had pattern ideas for two different designs in my head. While sketching them out, however, I realised that they can also be easily combined with each other. Real eye-catching socks!
This pattern is designed for knitting with a set of double pointed needles, whereby the stitches are distributed over four needles and worked with the fifth needle.
Experienced knitters can easily adapt the instructions to the Magic Loop method.
The socks are knitted from the top down, include a reinforced Eye of Partridge heel and are finished with a band toe.
These step-by-step instructions will guide you safely and reliably through the entire knitting process.
For the pattern, you will receive both charts and written instructions that you can use to knit the socks with ease.
Don't be put off by the length of the pattern - it is designed to give you all the information you need for a successful knitting experience.
When you purchase this pattern, you will receive a total of two pdf files (German and English), each nine DIN A 4 pages long.
