It is no secret that I absolutely adore my Between petals pullover design. I came across a small amount of leftover yarn, which I thought was a perfect change to make a matching pair of socks. These are simple yet beautiful: with a trim of floral colourwork around the leg, German short row heel and contrasting toe. Made in sturdy Icelandic yarn they are also very warm and durable. Sizes The pattern is written for three sizes 1 (2, 3) to fit 18.5 (21.5, 23.5) cm // 7.25 (8.5, 9.25) in foot/leg circumference. Leg length from the cuff to start of the heel: ca. 10.5 cm (4.25 in). The sample is shown in size 2. Yarn MC: ca. 50 g of Lopi Einband held double, 100% Icelandic wool with 250 m (273 yds) in 50 g skein, shown in shade 9075 (pecan heather); with an estimated yardage for a pair of socks of 125 m //136 yds. CC: ca. 30 g of Ethno Natura 500 Vivchari, 100% Ukrainian wool with 500 m (545 yds) in 200 g skein, shown in shade 213 (raspberry); with an estimated yardage for a pair of socks of 38 m //41 yds. Or any other yarn(s) to match the gauge. Needles & notions A pair of 2.5 mm (US 1.5) circular needles or a set of DPNs; a few stitch markers; a crochet hook or a tapestry needle. Gauge 28 sts & 34 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) measured over stockinette stitch worked in the round on 2.5 mm (US 1.5) needles after blocking; 28 sts & 30 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) measured over colourwork worked in the round on 2.5 mm (US 1.5) needles after blocking. Adjust the needle sizes if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
