Summary

The Blomster socks are knit from the cuff down and feature two-stranded colourwork, stockinette and a heel flap & gusset. Instructions are written for DPNs but you could knit them using magic loop or mini circulars.

I’ve written the pattern with the adventurous beginner in mind, which means that you’ll be given tips and tricks along the way – to hopefully make you feel confident and aided in your knitting.

If you’re a seasoned sock knitter however, I’ve taken extra care not to make the additional information and instructions distracting, wishing you a pleasant knitting experience ! ☺

Schematic & Measurements (see images)

Measurements
All indicated measurements have been taken on the finished sock when laying flat. A worn sock varies in its measurements depending on the shape and size of your foot and leg (stretching the fabric differently).

Keep in mind that these measurements are not indicating a circumference but a flat measurement on a sock that’s not being stretched by a 3 dimensional foot but a flat sock blocker. The numbers for the width is therefore only the width of half the sock.

The measurements in width are impacted by your stitch gauge (how many sts. per cm) whereas the length is impacted by your row/round gauge (how many rws/rnds per cm). This means that you can easily change the length by knitting more or fewer rows/rounds.

Please see schematic (in images) S (M)

Happy knitting!☺
