Leaflet - Debra Kinsey Knits - Gneiss Colourwork Socks

Gneiss Colourwork Socks

These socks require intermediate to advanced knitting skills

They are worked in the round on a set of double-pointed needles, beginning with K2 x P2 rib cuffs. The leg is worked using stranded colourwork and stripes.
The colourwork is worked in a spiral, which means it is very easy to knit because you don’t need to think about where you are in the pattern. The slipped-stitch heel flap construction provides durability and a nice fit.

There are 3 sizes: Small (Medium, Large)

Leg length from ankle approx 19cm

Foot length approx 21 (23, 25) cm
