Untitled 1601
This in an artwork which can be worn as performance art, or worked in plainer yarns for everyday wear. It is a pair of Frankensocks, i.e. socks made from yarn left over from previous projects. Choose from seven different panel patterns to repeat or combine on the leg and foot.
There are two separate sock patterns for knitting cuff-down and toe-up, and both patterns include options to knit the sock with a small, medium or large number of sts per round. You can further adjust the width of the sock by using one of two needle sizes. That gives a total of 2 styles, 2 sock-knitting methods and 5 width-adjustments. Foot length and leg length are infinitely adjustable.
Gauge
34 sts per 4in for medium size; 28 sts per 4in for large size.
Requirements
- Yarn: about 125g or 500yd/457m of any mixed 4ply sock yarns
- Needles: 4 dpns for cuff-down or toe-up version. An experienced knitter could substitute a pair of circulars for either version. Metric: size 2.25-2.5mm for medium; 2.75mm for large. UK and Canadian: size 13 (med); size 12 (large). US: size 1-2 (med); size 2 (large)
- Stitch marker, row counter, tapestry needle and scissors for sewing in ends
This is a 16-page, fully-written pattern, with charts for all the panels. You can print out just the pages that you want.
