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 toes. Made in sturdy Icelandic yarn they are also very warm and durable. Take a closer look at my sample and hear me speak more about the design in this podcast episode.

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 the start of the heel: ca. 10.5 cm (4.25 in).
• The sample is shown in size 2 on EU 38 (UK 5.5, US 7.5) shoe size feet.

Yarn
For the ankle length sample showed I used:

• 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.

Any other sport/DK weight yarn(s), which give you the required gauge, will work perfectly.

Needles and notions

• 2.5 mm (US 1.5) circular needles or 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. Use a smaller needle size for a tighter ribbing on the cuffs and a bigger size needle for the colourwork section if necessary.
