Captain hastings

Meet Hastings, the indispensable companion to Hercule Poirot, who serves as the literary counterpart to Watson. Known for his eagerness to jump into action and to leap to conclusions, Hastings embodies the essence of a proper British gentleman, complete with an old school tie that evokes an era of refinement.

The mesmerizing fabric of the traveling rib stitch elegantly encircles the leg, beautifully mimicking the diagonal stripe of the Eton College school tie — a nod to Hastings’ distinguished Alma Mater. This unique design not only pays homage to literary character but also adds a sophisticated touch to your knitting projects.

This easy knit pattern is composed entirely of knits and purls, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels. However, it does require some attentiveness to achieve the desired effect. As the design transitions to the foot, the traveling rib subtly transforms into a classic stocking stitch, adding visual interest. To elevate the uniqueness of these socks, the right and left sock patterns are mirrored, allowing for a charming pointer effect when the feet are placed side by side.
