Many knitters asked me if there would be other Si Sjo Sock designs afterthe Botanical Socks were published.

Yes is undoubtedly the answer! one can not ever own enough fancy,handknitted socks, if I am asked…

I love to present you another three pair of socks, inspired by retro style and -stitches, in emulation to my grandmother, who used to knit us, awesome similar ones when we were kids in the 60ties.

In this pattern you’ll find the knitting description for Twisted Cable socks.

Any sockyarn with a gauge of 28 stitches and 34 rows , and 400 meters on 100 gram is convenient for this pattern. Even lace yarn, 800 meters on 100 gram, could be used, when held double.

To get a simiar look as my socks, I advise you to use handdyed yarn, for example Hedgehog Sock, Twist Sock or La bien Aimée MCN light, or Malabrigo Sock or Manos del Uruguay Fino. I used approximately 70 grams for one pair of socks

The pattern is written for three shoe sizes: 36/37 38/39 and 40/41

The socks are knitted in the round on doublepointed sock needles, no.3 eu size.
The heels are knitted with a short row technique.

The patterns comes in a booklet. The booklet contains a lot of images. You might choose to select only the uneven pages, if you intend to print, in order to save both, ink and paper.
