Materials

  • 1 skein of Holiday Yarns Flock Sock (Fingering weight, 75% superwash merino, 25% nylon, 400 yds/100 g) in Articado
  • 1 set US size 4 (3.5mm) 32” circular needles used as straights, or size required for gauge
  • Numerous stitch markers
  • Different stitch markers for center, 4 total (optional)

Skills Required

  • Knitting and purling
  • Garter tab (picking up stitches)
  • Yarn overs
  • Single and double decreases

Notes

Charts are written out so pattern can be worked without them. Pattern cannot be worked from charts alone.

Pattern requires numerous stitch markers and extra manipulation of center stitch markers (placing new markers and removing old markers every WS row starting row 24).

Nearly the entire skein of yarn was used to make the sample project. It’s possible a second skein will be required to complete this project.

Pattern calls for a Knitted Cast On but any cast on can be substituted. Pattern calls for a Sewn Bind Off but any super stretch bind off can be substituted.

The number of side pattern repeats increases in an unusual way. Please read the pattern notes and look at the pattern itself to understand how this works. The rows where this happens are rows 61 and 97.
