Raven Frog Socks
Yet another early sock attempt, this is one of those early pairs that taught me never to use straight merino for socks…
| Pattern | Thuja |
|---|---|
| Size | Adult women's size 9 |
| Needles | US 3 - 3.25 mm |
| Yarn |
Raven Frog Fibers Marvelous Merino, Cabin in the Woods - 0.8 skeins
|
Construction is as follows:
- 24 sts cast-on (12 per needle) using Judy’s Magic Cast-On
- 17.5 cm toe to gusset
- 8 gusset increases every other row per side
- 16 row flap in heel stitch across 12 stitches w/ chain stitch selvedge
- 8 picked up stitches on each side of flap
- EZ cast-off
Post-completion Notes:
I’m very happy with the way these ones turned out. The sizing is more or less spot on (could be a little shorter, but only just a little), and the EZ cast-off made for a perfectly stretchy edge. And I didn’t even forget the cuff ribbing this time!
