About the socks
This time of the year, I love to wear extra cosy socks and I have just realised that when adding an extra thread of silk mohair to a regular sock yarn, my feet get toasty hot wearing these socks.
Yarnesty Mohair socks are knitted from toe-up with a gusset and heel flap to make a good room for the heel.
Yarn and metreage
Two strands of yarn are held together:
- one strand fingering weight sock yarn, e.g. Opal 4-ply 75% wool / 25% polyamide, 420m/100g
- one strand lace weight silk mohair, e.g. Sandnes tynn mohair 57% mohair 28% silk, 15% wool, 212m/25g
Metreage: 200 (220, 250, 280) metres of each yarn
Remember that metreage can change depending on the length of the foot.
Gauge
26 sts and 35 rounds = 10x10 cm in stocking stitch after blocking.
Normally I would recommend knitting a swatch to ensure your gauge is correct. When knitting socks, the toe can serve as a swatch, just be prepared that you might need to start the toe over again.
Sizes
A (B, C, D) have 40 (48, 56, 72) sts
The sock is designed to have negative ease around the foot of 1-4 cm. The length of the sock is adjustable. The pattern contains many Tips & Tricks about sizing.
