Bee Bold Socks: A New Knitting Pattern
|
Reader I have a new pattern to share with you today. Say hello to the Bee Bold Socks. I had this Thought: What if I used my animal hat charts to make socks? I went for it and I'm so glad that I did. I have already secretly made the fish, and dino socks with only the butterflies to go, and they are all soo cute. I've always been unsure of stranded knitted socks, because I worried that they would not have a lot of stretch, but I used some tricks throughout the pattern to keep them stretchy. First I moved up a couple needle sizes when I was in the stranded parts of the pattern, and second I made sure to keep the floats around 3 stitches and that really makes a big difference. Where you can get the patternThis pattern is available in my Ravelry Store and Etsy! For now its a little cheaper on Ravelry. Be sure to take a look I hope you are getting some warm weather where you are at. My garden is slowly coming awake. On Monday I spent the whole day on my porch with a cat on my lap and a book in my hand, and it was Glorious. I also hope you find some time for yourself too. Thanks for following along, Julia
