A special pattern for the Christmas Carol Yarns dyed by Het Wolbeest. These yarns are beautiful all on their own, but the knits and purls in this pattern will give the socks even more allure.

Due to circumstances this pattern didn’t get the attention I was hoping to give it. After Covid hit our household in early December, we were almost through our quarantine period when a national lockdown happened. I wasn’t able to knit these socks myself and the yarn for the Christmas Carol packages also got delayed due to the overloaded mailsystem.

So, I decided to publish this pattern today (Dec 25) as a Christmas gift, it will be free for the first 24 hours, and then return to my regular sock price. I hope you will all have a nice and peaceful Christmas season!

From here I’d also like to give a big shoutout to my wonderful testknitter who did start and finish her pair before Christmas! Thank you so much Nicolasina for your help! I couldn’t have done this without you!


About the pattern:
These socks are perfect with multicoloured or single coloured yarns. There is a mixed of purled and knit stitches to add texture to the pattern, making them an interesting knit. The textures form diamands and zigzags, while on the sides there is a ladder of knit stitches that runs down the leg and splits along the side of the heel and furthur through the foot to the toe.
Bonus Short Sock pattern The last pages of the pattern give you instructions how to change the pattern to knit yourself short socks using the same charts.
