Amount of yarn used:
2 skeins of main colour (or a bit more)
0.75 skein of contrasting colour

This pattern is called after the dyer of the yarn, Debbie from the Mulberry Dyer.

The colourwork pattern is an adaptation of the Islamic patterns in Richard Rutts “A history of handknitting”. Adjusted to the desired sock size.

The pattern is basic, and only really covers the knitting of the leg and cuff.

I liked the look of the picot cuff’s in the SKA-group and decided I could make them toe-up. I added a more detailed description of how I bound off to finish it (with photo’s).
