Gather Socks

Gather - gather all those leftovers from socks already knit.

Gather all those itty bitty ends from shawls loved and cherished. Gather all those precious nuggets of yarn you just can’t bear to throw away. Gather them all together and create a pair of socks that only you will have.

Some call themscrappy socks*, I’ve called mine* “Gather Socks”because they’re a collection of gathered yarns from projects past and present.

The pattern has instructions for both toe up and cuff down knitting. The socks have a wedge toe and a Wrap and Turn short row heel, however the heel and toe could easily be changed to your own choice. They are knit using the magic loop method but can be adapted to suit dpns. Please read all instructions before commencing pattern.

Needles: 2.25mm (US 1) circular needles for magic loop or dpns (or size needed to get gauge).

Gauge: 36 sts x 44 rows per 4 inches using 2.25mm needle in stocking stitch
