Harlequin Socks Pattern
Harlequin Socks Pattern
- Unique Design
- Clearly Written
- Designed in RI
Increasing, Decreasing, Stranded Knitting - this sock is technique-y but also intuitive once you are in a deep flow. These top-down socks are like argyle but without the stair stepping. They feature an after thought heel construction and are written for 9" circular needles and DPNs.
Construction
Construction
This sock is knit from the top down in the round. The pattern is written for knitting with 9” circular needles but can be easily translated to magic loop (DPNs will be harder to work with for this pattern). The pattern is knit using a combination of stranded knitting and increasing + decreasing.
There is an afterthought heel and the toe is knit in the traditional decreased manner.
Fit
Fit
Crew height socks in 2 sizes Narrow (Wide). The pattern provides details on how to manipulate the length to accommodate various shoe sizes.
Pick your size based on width, not length.
