Pattern: Cast on 68st, 20 rows of K3P1 for the cuff. Now these socks may look like plain vanilla stockinette but they're actually mini-brioche with multiple twisted stitches that throw the colours this way and that. Row 1 and 3, knit, Row 2 K1 K1tbl repeat, Row 4 K1tbl K1. I did a mini-brioche heel flap over 34 st, decreased to 16st on N1 and N2 for the gussets and did some kind of made up round toe.
Yarn: Trekking XXL colour 100. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!! This yarn makes me happy in ways I never thought possible from wool. It's so exuberant you can't help but smile when you knit with it.
Sigh.... I'm so sad the knitting's over :( But, I do have enough leftovers to make a dinky pair of socks for my favourite little boy baby. Yay! More knitting with rainbows!!
Very nice! Can you show a close up of the brioche?
