Bastei

I want to Thank Jill & Kiddles for the yarn for these socks, the stunning photos and she has a kit on her website!! Check it out!!**

These socks were inspired by Bastei Bridge in German-Saxony border. Its a beautiful bridge that just made my heart sing for this pattern.

This is not an beginner friendly sock unless you would like to try a new style of sock. It is a Fair Isle on the front and back of the sock, with a slipped cable design. The pattern is sideways so you will either need to print it or be able to read it sideways.

The sock is done in two different sizes of needles and they are US Size 2 & 4 in a 32” circular needle. You will also need to use either a cable needle or a stitch holder for the slipped cable design.

The gauge for this is 22 sts= 4” or 10 cm. However gauge can change depending on if you go down or up a needle size if you are either a loose or tight knitter. Enjoy this beautiful pattern!
