Rhydun

$8.50

Rhydun is more than just a sock pattern; it’s a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend who brings the “rhy” to rhyFlower. Inspired by their remarkable spirit, the Rhydun sock captures the warmth and joy of friendship through its playful mix of cables and eyelets, making it a truly enjoyable and creative knit. What makes Rhydun stand out is its flexibility with different yarns, much like the twists and turns of a deep friendship, allowing your chosen fibre to shine. As you knit, you may reminisce about shared memories and the unwavering support of your closest friends, turning this project into a cherished reminder of those special connections. Slip into your Rhydun socks, and you’ll carry a little piece of that inspiration and friendship with you wherever you go. Start your Rhydun journey today and create a cosy, wearable tribute to the friends who help shape your world.

The pattern offers two versionsโ€”one for thicker stripes and one for thinner stripesโ€”so you can choose the perfect match for your self-striping yarn.

Worked in the round, this versatile sock pattern offers a seamless knitting experience by providing both cuff-down and toe-up written directions, catering to your preferred sock construction. Youโ€™ll also find a clear and concise chart for the pattern motif, ensuring that you have all the tools you need to create these beautiful socks. While the pattern comes with instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), it’s adaptable to your personal preferences and unique feet. Links for alternative heels have been included!

With multiple sizes thoughtfully incorporated, you can easily achieve the perfect fit for yourself or for the lucky recipient of your hand-knit socks. This pattern truly embraces size-inclusivity, making it a wonderful option for a wide range of individuals.

Weโ€™ve written this sock pattern for the magic loop knitting method in mind. However, you can also work on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead if you prefer (just use extra markers to denote the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
