Raven Frog Socks Redux
Using Thuja with some gifted Raven Frog yarn, this time Alder Bark, to knit up another pair of warm, comfy, and very fragile socks…
| Pattern | Thuja |
|---|---|
| Size | Adult men's size 8 |
| Needles | US 3 - 3.25 mm |
| Yarn |
Raven Frog Fibers Marvelous Merino, Alder Bark - 0.8 skeins
|
My plan, here, is to mirror the Return to Socks pattern, with some minor alterations in the sizing to get it just right.
- Toe: 8 sts
- Foot: 44 sts
- Gusset: 10 sts
- Heel: 18 rows over 12 sts
- Toe to gusset: 17cm
Post-Completion Notes:
Well, these could’ve been a little larger. 48 or 52 stitches around would’ve probably been ideal. And the decrease cast-off isn’t nearly stretchy enough for a tight-fitting sock. Looks like I might have to switch back to the EZ cast-off after all.
