More Cashmara

Posted by Soxophone Player on March 1, 2010

Here are some more socks knit with Fly Designs Cashmara – 80% Merino 10% Cashmere 10% Nylon.

(The horizontal line showing across the ankles isn’t in the yarn – I just pulled these off the blockers on the drying rack .)

The colourway above is Sagebrush.

And this colourway is Denim.

Both pairs are size Medium +,  knit with the 72 needle cylinder on the Verdun 47;  Eye of the Partridge heel with gusset.

    I blogged about my Betch Kelly socks here: http://soxophoneplayer.blogspot.com/2009/05/you-betcha.html

    On this method I used 100 needle cylinder to knit the over the knee part, then transfered to a 72 cylinder for the knee-down part.

    I’ve seen another pattern (by Roxana Baechle) that uses the ribber at half pitch to a 72 to accomplish a similar idea of having more stitches at the top than the bottom.
