Something Prickly This Way Comes

Introducing "Something Prickly This Way Comes," a beautifully crafted knitting pattern specifically designed in a unique colourway by the talented independent dyer Felt Fusion for the renowned Perth Festival of Yarn. This delightful sock pattern features an intricate panel showcasing a thistle motif, masterfully created using simple cable stitches. Flanking the thistle panel are elegant cable patterns that enhance the overall design and add texture to your hand-knit socks.

The design includes a striking contrast colour for the toe, heel, and cuff, offering a lovely visual pop. For knitters working on the larger ankle size, you'll find that it utilizes nearly 85 meters of contrast colour yarn, alongside approximately 235 meters of the main colour yarn to comfortably fit a UK adult size 6 foot.

This pattern is best executed with a semi-solid yarn, which will beautifully highlight the detailed thistle motif, making your finished socks a stunning addition to your wardrobe. Whether you prefer working in the round with the magic loop method or opt for the convenience of mini circular needles, this pattern is designed to accommodate your knitting preferences.

Rest assured, this knitting pattern has undergone thorough technical editing and has been test knitted, ensuring a smooth knitting experience for you.
