Knitting Pattern - Hygge Snowflake Socks - Hand Knitted Socks, Sizes UK 5 - 8, worked cuff down in 4ply yarn - instant digital download

Seller's description

These classic fairisle wintery snowflake socks make me think of cozy nights by the fire and hot chocolate. Perfect to knit on those long, dark January nights!

The socks are worked from the cuff down, in the round, with some simple colourwork through the length of the leg and foot. They are finished with kitchener stitch to graft the toe.

The can be knit in a variety of colours but I have chosen red, blue and white - I've knitted these socks using Drops Nord 4ply sock wool, a super soft sock yarn with a 45% alpaca content, lovely to work with, and very reasonably priced as well as easy to get hold of. You will need around 50g each of Red, Jeans Blue and Off White to work the same colours as mine.
You can either knit 2 socks the same, or odd as I've done.

Any 4 ply sock yarn will do, however, the gauge I've worked to is 32 stitches to 41 rows using 2.5mm double pointed needles - you can use a circular needle and the magic loop method if you prefer.

The pattern is written for 3 sizes, small (UK 5-6), medium (UK 6-7) and large (UK 7-8), but is very easily customizable to fit your own foot. As you're knitting from the cuff down, you can slip your work over your foot to check the fit of the leg, heel and foot as you go.

The pattern is designed for confident knitters with knowledge of sock knitting and stranded colourwork - joining in the round, knitting with two strands of yarn at once, a short row heel, kitchener stitch.

I have tried to make this pattern as user friendly as possible, but will provide you with my email address when you download the pattern, if you have any issues at all, do get in touch and I will be happy to help.

I am always happy to help knitters if they get stuck at all, and will answer messages and questions within 24 hours (usually far less) if help is required.
