Craspedia
Socks are a way for me to play! I love playing with new techniques and stitch patterns and seeing what sort of fabric they will create. Socks are the perfect small canvas to explore. For Craspedia, I dug into all sorts of texture – honeycomb cables, slipped stitches and even tiny little bobbles. Mondim is one of my favourite yarns and I’m always a sucker for ochre yellows! If you look, you can see how these socks inspired one of my sweaters – the Daydreamer!
These socks are knitted from the toe to cuff. After the toe is completed, the top of the sock will be worked from the Cable chart and the bottom of the sock will remain in stockinette stitch. These socks include a fleegle heel, which ensures you won’t have any little holes on the side of the heel gussets. Photos are care of Laine Magazine.
