Senbonzakura
These socks open the 15th year of Sock Madness.
Since about SM12 there was a running joke that if I ever design a qualification pattern then it will result in a very calm and easy year for our beloved mods. I guess they seriously needed it after 2020…
Anywho, ‘Senbonzakura’ isn’t actually difficult a pattern, just a tiny bit tricky in sizing.
Techniques used:
- Elastic Crocheted cast-on (explained in pattern)
- twisted stitches
- smocked stitches
- modified Wedge heel
Is it time yet?
UPDATES
Note 04-Oct-2021: Pattern update 1.01 available: Added row numbers along the left edges of the Gusset charts (as advertised in the written directions)
