This listing is for two digital downloads of the patterns for my Beach Hut AND Anchor Socks. As both socks use some of the same yarn colours I'm offering them together at a discount. 1 ball each of the following yarn colours will be enough to make 1 pair of Anchor Socks and 1 pair of Beach Hut Socks: Drops Nord Yarn: Denim Blue, Fog, Goldenrod, Old Pink, Off White, Red (you will only need a very small amount of Red, so any sock yarn you have in a similar colour will do) Drops Fabel Yarn: Shoreline Any 4 ply sock yarn will do, however, the gauge I've worked to is 32 stitches to 41 rows using 2.5mm double pointed needles - you can use a circular needle and the magic loop method if you prefer. Both socks are knitted from the cuff down, one with a mock cable rib (there is a instruction video for this and other tricky steps available on my Instagram page), both with simple colour work motifs. They each use different heel patterns, Beach Huts is a heel flap and gusset and Anchors is a yarn over short row heel. Each is finished with Kitchener Stitch to graft the toe (again I have a video available with instructions for this trickier step). The patterns are written for 3 sizes, small (UK 5-6), medium (UK 6-7) and large (UK 7-8), but is very easily customizable to fit your own foot. As you're knitting from the cuff down, you can slip your work over your foot to check the fit of the leg, heel and foot as you go. Suitable for beginners with some knitting knowledge (casting on, knitting in the round and joining in the round, stranded colour work, kitchener stitch - there is a video tutorial available for this step, Swiss Darning). If you have are a knitter with more experience, you will easily be able to adjust the heels and cuffs to suit you if you want to work a slightly different way. I have tried to make this pattern as user friendly as possible, but will provide you with my email address when you download the pattern, if you have any issues at all, do get in touch and I will be happy to help. Thanks for taking the time to look at my listing, if you have any questions before purchasing, do get in touch. Happy Knitting! x
