Fantastic 5
This is a meme for Sockret Pal - my 5 top sock patterns. As I’ve only been knitting socks for a few months and have not knit many pairs so far I don’t know if I have 5 but here are the socks I’ve enjoyed knitting so far -
Jaywalker by Grumperina which I knit with Opal Prisma in an orange colourway. The patterning was lovely and is great with the stripey yarn.
Gentleman’s Sock in Railway Stitch from Knitting Vintage Socks by Nancy Bush. I have actually finished one sock but don’t have a photo yet. The pattern is very simple but gives a lovely thick fabric. This is knit wit Regia 4ply.
Shell Pattern sock from Knitting Vintage Socks again. (I only have the one book of sock patterns!)
I’ll add to this when I try some more, the ones I want to knit at the moment are - Baudelaire from Knitty (I started this but didn’t like the wool I was using so unpicked but now have some Opal I want to use), Bayerische which I have started, will post a picture soon, appeals to my love of aran and cables.Snickett on magknits, and Anna from Rowan 40 I want to find a really nice pattern for knee-length or over-knee socks to wear with my clogs and skirts this winter so if anyone can suggest anything let me know….
