Description
This kit includes two skeins of Wendy Guernsey yarn and my pattern for Gansey Socks, sized for a medium woman. You can choose three different lengths: anklet, crew, or mid-calf. The sock is worked circularly from the top to the toe and begins with the Channel Island Cast-on. The patterning is comprised of knit/purl motifs (stars and diagonal lines) and a baby cable in the back. It has a German Heel, Wedge Toe shaping and a tutorial on Kitchener stitch for the tip of the toe. There are four options for yarn color: White, Red, Atlantic Blue (like Delft), and Navy Blue. The pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter.
These socks are thick and warm, knitted in traditional Guernsey wool. Two skeins are included for making the pair.
