KARLIE'S SOCKS with double thickness soles, heels and toes
Introducing the latest design by The Wee Duchess, specifically crafted for knitters who enjoy a toe-up construction method! 'Karlie' is an innovative take on 'Karl's Socks,' which is famously known as the best-selling pattern by The Wee Duchess. This new version, tailored for women, captures the truly comfortable 'flap and gusset' style of the original Karl socks while maintaining the unique and clever technique of creating the heel, sole, and toe using double-thickness yarn for enhanced durability. Plus, there's no need to pick up stitches, making it even more convenient!
Unlike the original 'Karl,' this exciting new version incorporates a modified Japanese loop instead of the traditional wrap and turn method, allowing you to master the magical techniques with ease. As always, The Wee Duchess provides detailed illustrated instructions to guide intermediate knitters, but this pattern offers an enjoyable challenge for advanced knitters looking to elevate their skills.
Additionally, The Wee Duchess introduces 'inset' rows into this design to help balance the differing tensions that arise when working with two yarns together on the sole while only using one on the instep. These optional inset rows will enhance the overall fit, ensuring a neater finish without any annoying wrinkles around the ankle. Embrace the challenge and joy of crafting with the 'Karlie' sock pattern, and elevate your knitting projects today!
