Because Sock Yarn

Sock yarn isn’t just yarn; it's a miniature treasure waiting to be transformed into something fabulous. With only one skein to worry about, and at a cost of less than £20, it's the ideal choice for knitters looking to indulge without overwhelming their stash. A single skein of sock yarn is compact and lightweight, making it a perfect travel companion. There’s no need for concerns about dye lots or yardage—it’s just Sock Yarn, and you simply have to add it to your collection. Consider it a unique souvenir: a stunning colourway that captures the essence of your recent travels, one you've never encountered before. It complements your favorite coat beautifully. And remember, it's only one skein!

So, why not harness that one-of-a-kind, gorgeous souvenir skein for a project that’s as enjoyable to knit as a pair of socks, yet more visible than footwear? Channel your creativity into projects you can proudly showcase, like fashionable mitts or a lovely shawl. These accessories not only keep you warm but also allow you to flaunt your knitting skills and stunning yarn.

Finished Measurements: Mitts: hand circumference 14 (15, 16.5, 18, 19, 20) cm, length 14.5 (15, 16.5, 17, 18, 18.5) cm. Shawl: one, but fully adjustable to your preference and the yarn you have available. The sample shown measures 28-30.5 cm deep and 140-150 cm long, but feel free to customize it!

Gauge: For the mitts, achieve 34 stitches and 48 rounds = 10 cm measured over stockinette stitch. For the shawl, aim for 21 stitches and 40 rows = 10 cm measured over garter stitch. These specific measurements will help ensure that your finished products are both beautiful and functional.

Embrace the joy of knitting with your treasured sock yarn by creating delightful mitts and a stunning shawl that showcases both your talent and your beautifully unique yarn. Perfect for gifts or personal use, this project is sure to bring smiles all around!
