Balthazar's Jumper Socks

If you’re a fan of the delightful web series “Nothing Much To Do,” inspired by Shakespeare's timeless play, “Much Ado About Nothing,” you’ll love our latest knitting pattern! Created by the talented team at The Candle Wasters, this popular series has now expanded into a new adaptation, “Lovely Little Losers,” based on Shakespeare's “Love's Labour’s Lost.” One beloved character returning for this new series is the charming musician Balthazar Jones, portrayed by the talented Reuben Hudson. To celebrate his iconic fashion sense, we were inspired by a promo shot featuring him in a striking geometric-patterned sweater (or ‘jumper’ as we say in New Zealand) and transformed that visual into an eye-catching sock pattern!

Our Balthazar Jones-inspired socks are a perfect way to show off your love for this unique web series while indulging in your passion for knitting. They are both stylish and comfortable, making them an ideal accessory for any fan wanting to bring a little piece of the series into their everyday wardrobes.

Yarn requirements for this knitting pattern vary by size:

• For women’s socks: 120 yards of main color (MC), 90 yards of color contrast 1 (CC1), 50 yards of color contrast 2 (CC2), 100 yards of color contrast 3 (CC3), and 80 yards of color contrast 4 (CC4).
• For men’s socks: 150 yards of main color (MC), 110 yards of color contrast 1 (CC1), 60 yards of color contrast 2 (CC2), 110 yards of color contrast 3 (CC3), and 90 yards of color contrast 4 (CC4).
