    About

    A friend has a 60th birthday soon so I thought I would knit him some socks as a gift. The yarn had been in my stash for a couple of years and was a delight to knit, would definitely buy this again.

    Pattern

    Basic socks

    Yarns

    • material-yarn
      Knitpro Symphonie Terra Hand Dyed - Strangers in the Night ✕ 1 ball

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 2.50mm (US 1.5) 100cm

    Measurements

    Large in

    Notes: I made size large to fit UK 9/10 shoe size. I used approximately 285m of yarn. Although the pattern is written for DPNs I used magic loop throughout.

        Thank you Nora. I agree they make great gifts and don’t take too long to make.

      Lovely socks and a great colour. A friend asked me to knit socks for her 90 year old neighbour's birthday. Good idea for a gift for a man.

        Thanks Cheryl. Men are difficult to buy for (especially when they are 90!) so a pair of hand knitted socks is a great idea.
