The Swiss woods and the deer living nearby our house in Winter time were the inspiration behind these stranded knitting fairy tale sock pattern.

The socks are knitted from the top down and have a heel-flap and gusset. There are colourwork sections on the leg, the heel and on the foot just before the toe is knitted. There are charts provided for these sections.

This pattern is written in English and has step by step written instructions.

Needle size is chosen according to the size required and gauge for the colourwork section.

• Small (foot circumference 19-20cm) 2.25mm (US1) needles, 38sts x 40 rounds 10cm
• Medium (foot circumference 21-22cm) 2.5mm (US1.5) needles, 34sts x 38 rounds 10cm
• Large (foot circumference 23-24cm) 2.75mm (US2) needles, 32sts x 36 rounds 10cm
