Sock knitting pattern 'Kiwi As Summer Socks' PDF download for advanced knitters, instant download

Welcome to the Land of the Long White Cloud, Aotearoa, New Zealand, where Flip-Flops are called ‚jandals‘ (Japanese sandals! It makes sense, right?) and are worn year-round.

These socks feel like summer. Fun split toes and a cute wave pattern make them an ideal project for your summer knitting and a quirky addition to your standard socks drawer.

The socks are worked top down in the round and are described with a boomerang heel using German short rows, although you can swap the heel for any heel that you like.

Techniques used are:

* Stranded knitting - Fair Isle
* knitting in the round
* simple decreases
* reading charts
* Grafting (alt. 3 needle bind-off) for closing the toes.

What you need:
* Approx. 100g of fingering yarn in the main colour and 20g of contrasting colour of the same yarn. I used Yarn Therapy Trust High Twist Merino (365m/100g) in the colour ways Byzantine and Toffee Crisp for my socks.
* 5 double pointed needles not larger than 3mm (I use 2,5mm needles and go up a size for the Fair Isle parts).
* 2 stitch markers
