Mohair Magic Socks

The Mohair Magic socks are knit holding a strand of laceweight mohair together with a regular sock yarn. This combination, especially when combining a dark and a light yarn, gives the finished work an amazing sheen and softness. The finished object will appear to shine! Paired with some simple 1/1 cables in a diagonal striping pattern these socks look very luxurious, but they are in fact a fairly easy knit.

This pattern is worked in the round from the cuff down. Knit from the top down, with a heel flap and gusset construction, the pattern features several options for the striping pattern (V, diamond, or fraternal). You can mix and match according to your preferences. For a fraternal pair knit one sock according to the instructions for “sock 1” and one according to the instructions for “sock 2”. For a matching pair in the V striping pattern knit both socks according to “sock 1” instructions. For a matching diamond striping pair knit both socks according to “sock 2” instructions.
