Tripp

$8.50

Envision a captivating sock, gracefully waltzing through a meadow of intertwining cables and delicate eyelets, scattering joy with every step. Meet Tripp, the whimsical pattern that effortlessly captures hearts while ensuring snug comfort for your feet. Tripp transcends the realm of ordinary sock patterns. Its intricate cable and eyelet motifs command attention and admiration. Be prepared for the curious inquiries, as admirers inquire, “Where can I find those marvellous socks?”

Worked in the round, Tripp contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers โ€“ so you donโ€™t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
