These fab socks have been designed and donated by knitter extraordinaire Ros Clarke. You can read her inspiration for the pattern here which I hope you find Educational (100).

Here are Ros’ details on the pattern itself.

“The pattern has been designed to fit as many different shapes and sizes of feet and ankles as possible. The rib gives it lots of stretch, the heel flap and the horseshoe heel turn give some extra room, and the travelling cable adds interest to the pattern. The construction of these socks is somewhat unusual and there are times when you just have to blindly trust the pattern, but I promise it works.  I would say that this pattern is intermediate difficulty.”

All patterns have been generously donated to the project by MSF supporters and are available for your knitting pleasure. In return, we ask that you make a donation to p/hop based on the hours of enjoyment you will get from knitting these patterns. Making your donation is easy. Just click here for pounds, here for US dollars or here for Euros. Thank you very much.
