Another simple, yet very elegant pair of socks. The pattern is fun to knit and easy-to-follow, it allows you to relax and forget everything around you and get into the flow while you’re knitting.
The String of Bobbles Socks are knitted from the cuff down to the toe. Cast on for the cuff, using one of my favourites, the Estonian Cast-on method. Work the leg of the socks, then the French heel, turn the heel using some short rows and start decreasing to create the gussets. Finish the socks with the Short, Medium or Long Standard Toe.
The pattern is suitable for novice knitters.


New! The pattern includes shoe sizes with exact foot length measurements as a guide, when the foot cannot be measured, e. g. for gift knitting!
