The Mini Sock Decoration is designed to be quick, fun and playful as well as a great way to use up those leftover yarns in your stash. I worked with my Bluff Cove 4ply yarn. A 100% Falkland wool from a farm in the Bluff Cove region. This beautifully naturally grey yarn is the perfect base for warm and moody shades.

The pattern is knitted with DPNs but circular needles can be substituted. The socks are knitted cuff-down with a German short row heel giving you a quick and seamless sock from start to finish. The pattern is written for a sock with cables but you can easily replace the cable rounds with a knit round if you prefer plain stockinette or perhaps a stripey sock. You could also introduce a 1x1 cuff rib to add some extra detail.

Size: One size (foot and leg length adjustable). Each sock uses about 5g/20m of yarn.

Finished measurements: Leg length 6.5cm/2.5” from the cuff to the start of the heel
Foot length 6.5cm/2.5” from the heel to tip of toe.

Samples sown in Solstice 02 and 05 mini bundles. Any 4ply/fingering weight yarns can be substituted.
