Pattern Debut: Volteado
What did I tell you about autumn, huh? Season of knitting, season of NEW PATTERNS. Yep, another one. Introducing
!
I'm excited to share that you'll find this one in the Knitty
issue! So you know what that means--it's FREE!
These socks used two skeins of
Blue Label fingering weight. The sample is knit in Plum and Sunset.
Purple is my color, lately. And this is one beautiful purple.
They're knit cuff down, and available in two sizes: 8" and 9" foot circumference. The sample socks are the smaller size--they fit my size 7.5 foot quite nicely!
The color repeats are short, which results in short, stacked floats that are extra thick and warm, particularly on the soles. Cuffs, toes and short row heels are done in a solid color to contrast.
Now that the pattern is live, I can stop protecting my sample pair and start wearing them!
Stay tuned, my previously exclusive
sock design goes live Monday--more colorwork socks!--bringing my September pattern release total up to 4!
ETA: Please join us for a Volteado knit-a-long! We'll be starting October 1, but you can join in the pre-cast on chatter
