Pattern: Dragonfly Socks
Yarn: Candy Skein Yummy Fingering
Colourway: Candy Skein's First Birthday
Modifications: I added two stitches and two rows to each repeat to bring the primary stitch count to 68 sts. These socks were knit on size 0 (2mm) needles. I knit two extra repeats on each leg to make them a bit longer. There was still enough yarn to do more, but there wouldn't have been enough stretch at the cuff to wear them any higher on my calf.
Comments: Very simple and effective pattern. Simple enough to memorize the pattern and knit on the go without bringing the pattern along. The yarn is lovely subtle mix of shades of robins egg blue, cyan, teal and green. It's a very smooth yarn that shows the stitch definition well, not at all splitty and with a nice squishy-ness. Very nice to knit.

ReplyDeleteLovely socks. I just wanted to let you know you won my giveaway. Please check Crochetapy and send me an email.
ReplyDeleteLovely colourway and lovely socks - perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteI love those socks, and the fact that it is a free, easy pattern. BTW, I can't find this pattern in Ravelry. Could there really be a pattern they haven't captured?!
ReplyDeleteLove the color. Those look great.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous socks! I queued the pattern as well! I'm so glad you enjoyed working with the yarn. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are really striking. I love the colorway and it is good to hear that the pattern wasn't overly complicated. I'm trying to knit socks during the Ravellenic Games, and I'm hoping all the socks you make will help convince me that I can knit some, too :).
ReplyDeleteVery lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely colours.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteNice colour, nice pattern, nice feet.
ReplyDeletelovely socks in a great colour
ReplyDeleteThese socks are great! I love how that color yarn shows off the pattern too. Sometimes the pattern gets lost in the yarn.
