I’m quite excited about these, for a number of reasons.
Let me list them for you:
- They are super cosy and snuggly.
- They are bright and cheerful.
- They are, technically, worsted weight and therefore not quite as bulky as my other boot socks
- THEY ARE MACHINE WASHABLE
- They knit up really speedily.
They’re knitted in Novita 7 Veljesta Raita (self-striping) and Lappi (solid colour) on 4mm needles and one ball of self-striping, knitted as I did, does EXACTLY one pair. You’ll only use around 35g (around 70m) of the ball of solid colour.
Let me show you how much of a yarn chicken winner I was with these ones:
I’ve written up the pattern and it is available for a nominal fee of £1 for a while over here.
The Novita Raita self-striping yarn you can find here, and the Lappi solid colour is here.
Do share your pictures with me if you have a crack at them!
Happy knitting <3
