Kerttu Socks

Another pair of yellow socks. I wish I could say that I didn’t have more yellow in the stash, but well, yellow is pretty right? :D

 

Yarn: ArtYarns Supermerino 3.5 Skiens
Needle: Size US 4 DPN
Pattern: Kerttu Socks
Mods: Well, another sock pattern that wouldn’t commit to a heal, but knitters are nothing but resourseful. Math was used & all worked out well. Details of the heel flap, turning of the heel & gusset treatements can be found here. I added more leg repeats than called for because since I was already thinking of making these slippers I thought the longer the better.

 
Obviously I didn’t notice that random cap by my feet when I took the picture!

Over all I loved the pattern, loved the yarn and loved when they were done. I don’t know how well these are going to hold up though, the yarn already seems to want to fuzz.  I plan on putting suede slipper bottoms on these as to not slip & fall flat on my face when yarn meets tile. (Because, if you know me, you know it WILL happen)

 

The patterns was extremely easy to memorize and I love the effect of the fake cables down the front. Especially when they are stretched out. This is one of those patterns that looks way more complicated than it really is. So you look like a master knitter for something that really wasn’t hard. I love when that happens :D

 

All in all an enjoyable knit. A good way to use up some DK or Worsted weight yarn you all might have in your stash. You know the ones that are to much to make just a hat but to little to make a scarf? This is a nice alternitive. You won’t have to use as much yardage as me either because I’m doubting you have my big foot issues :D

  1. I absolutely love this pattern. Thanks for sharing. I’ll need to add them to my Ravelry queue. Yes, must look like a master knitter whenever possible!
