This pattern was inspired by Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”. The poem conjures such a lovely image of the hushed sound of a wintery forest with the snow falling gently, and only the horse with its bells making any sound. Deep winter magic! With only two colours it’s an easy knit, while the very varied pattern will keep the knitter engaged!

Finished and blocked socks measure:
Length of the foot: approx. 23 cm/9”.
Circumference: approx. 21 cm/8,3”.
Size can be adjusted by using smaller or larger sized needles or by adding or removing some rows.

The pattern specifies the yarns I have used, but any sock yarn of the same weight (100gr = 425 meters/465 yards or 50 g = 210 meters/230 yards) will work fine.

Approximate weight needed (if sticking to gauge):

MC: 50 g
CC: 30 g

Pattern is written for magic loop, but double pointed needles work as well if you prefer that, just make sure to make necessary adjustments.

Pattern is available in English and Swedish.

Techniques used: Forethought/Peasant Heel, Stranded Colourwork, Kitchener Stitch,

The pattern has links to my accompanying videos on Youtube which explain some of the technical aspects of the work (in English with English or Swedish subtitles): How to work with magic loop, how to sew the kitchener stitch.
