About the Pattern
I was inspired by Rachel Coopey sock design named “Bertha” in the book “Sock Knitting-18 Innovative Design”, so I make my own version of this fair isle socks. The size is a “comfort” size, meaning even though it knitted in fair isle but it will not be too tight.

I used my stock yarn which don’t have label anymore so I cant mention any yarn brand but for sure its acrylic.

Each sock could be use either for right or left foot, that is why I use term sock 1 and sock 2 for this pattern instead of right and left sock.

Yarn
I used Acrylic Wool DK (Brand Lion) 8 ply, 50 gram/ ball, 2 ball for each colour (total 200 gram or 100-150 metre).

Size
S / M/ L or Foot length (20/23/26) cm or (8.5/9/10.5) Inch. The result sock will be more loose for the foot size to provide the “comfort”size for foot.
