Raparperi means rhubarb in Finnish. They weren´t called Raparperi at first, but when I realised the similarities between rhrubarb and my design, I could not unsee it: Long, curved stalks and frilly top. Raparperi socks are knitted toe up using magic loop. Simple stitch pattern continues from instep to the cuff. Instead of ribbing there´s a cute little ruffle detail on top.

CONSTRUCTION
Knitted toe up with after tought heel construction, easy ribbed textured pattern and cute frilly edge.

SIZE
Socks com in two sizes:
Size 1 = 20cm/8inch circumference before blocking
Size 2 =22cm/8,8inch circumference before blocking
You can adjust the lenght by adding rows to the instep and adjust width by adding stitches to the sides.
