Sea Purls
Sea Purls are now available as an individual pattern, to celebrate enjoy the 25% off until December 31th!
Living by the sea enables us to enjoy its beauty all year around…. from summer swimming to winter walks along the coast, throwing sea stones and pebbles far away, building sand towers, and looking for seashells and urchin shells in the depths, which makes my boys especially happy.
Urchin shells can be found in various sizes and enchanting colors. Their distinctive texture was my inspiration for Sea Purls socks.
CONSTRUCTION
Socks are knitted top-down from cuff to toe. The cuff and leg are knit in the round, and the heel flap and heel turn are knit flat. Then you pick up stitches along the heel flap and continue to knit in the round. After knitting the foot, you will work decreases to shape the toe and, in the end, graft the last stitches together.
