Introducing Our Updated Cricket-Themed Sock Pattern with a New Recipe!

Cricket enthusiasts, get ready to elevate your knitting game! In the world of Cricket, the term LBW (Leg Before Wicket) signifies the critical law that allows an Umpire to rule a batsman out if the ball was poised to hit the wicket, only to be obstructed by the batsman’s body—except for the hand holding the bat. This fascinating aspect of the sport has inspired our latest heavy-duty sock pattern, perfect for keeping warm during those chilly match days.

Crafted in soft, durable DK weight yarn, these stylish socks feature an intricate cable and rib pattern that showcases contrast color stripes, heels, and toes. This delightful combination not only highlights your knitting skills but also adds a vibrant touch to your sock drawer. The pattern is designed to be worked from the cuff down, ensuring you achieve a perfect fit every time. Both the toe and the afterthought heel are knit in a contrasting color, which are then beautifully grafted together using the Kitchener stitch for a seamless finish.

Fitting Length (available in all sizes): Leg length (including cuff) measures 7” (18 cm). These socks are designed to fit foot lengths of up to 10” (25.5 cm) approximately, which corresponds to a shoe size of US 10 / UK 8 / EU 42. Ease: Allow for a negative ease of -1” (-2.5 cm) for a snug fit.

Note: If you decide to lengthen your sock, please keep an extra skein of the main color (MC) yarn handy to ensure consistency in your project. Get ready to impress your friends and family not just with your knitting prowess, but also with the sporty flair of these remarkable socks. Whether you’re watching a match from the comfort of your living room or attending one live, these socks will keep your feet cozy and stylish!
