Delicious Knee Socks Pattern!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009 | design, knitting, patterns, socks

The Delicious Knee Socks pattern is now up for sale!

You’ll have lots of fun knitting and wearing these striped knee socks! Knit a custom fit in a variety of foot sizes and calf sizes – over forty size combinations. A slipped stitch “seam” up the back of the leg hides the usual jog between the stripes and looks pretty too. If you don’t want stripes, just knit them in a beautiful solid colour for socks you’ll reach for all the time!

These socks are knit in the round from the toe up, with a Turkish/Eastern cast on and short row heel. Also included are notes on how to knit a pair of over-the-knee socks!

Absolutely beautiful! Didn’t realize that the stripey ones and the over-the-knee ones would be the same pattern!

I’m trying out your short heel tutorial with a different heel color, like Delicious. Is it correct that I do not have to break off the original color? It will be waiting there at the corner after the heel is complete?

I was going to ask you what calf size D was and then I reread the pattern description. Now I know how much yarn I need to get!

Regardless, I must have these.

Those selections of yarns are beautiful. Unfortunately I have to wear compression socks, so I am unable to knit my own. But I sure would love to wear some socks in those fun colors! There isn’t much of a color selection for compression socks. They started making the athletic ones in nice colors like green and pink, hopefully I will start to see some medical compression socks in colors like you have shown above!
