So, continuing my desire to produce simple but striking patterns, patterns that relatively new knitters might look at and think “I could have a crack at that!” this pattern contains lots of photos of the socks in progress and is designed to be easy to follow and simple and quick to make. They were knitted top down, one and a time, have a Dutch heel and contrast toes, both of which are reinforced.

Socks 5 and 6 of the 52 socks of 2021
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
His & Hers Stripes
Well… it seemed only fair.
I still haven’t finished his crochet blanket.
I still haven’t finished his Christmas jumper.
So isn’t it time I started and finished something for him?!
After the gazillionth pair of Beauteous Boot Socks:
and using the same yarns (Drops Nepal in White and Drops Big Delight in Marina), my beloved partner-in-crime at last has his own pair: the Beauteous Gents’ Socks
If you are interested in the patterns, you can click on the links above the pictures, OR, you can find them both together here: the His and Hers Beauteous Socks.
Happy Knitting and may your toes be ever toasty, and your heels ever cushioned.
