{"product_id":"what-the-sock","title":"What the Sock – Knitting pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eDo you know that feeling? You see or hear something so outrageous that you can hardly believe your eyes or ears, and you cannot help but think: “What the ... ???” Well, at least we have our knitting to help us soothe our nerves every now and then! With the playful colourwork statement on these socks, you can articulate your outrage using your own hands, stitch by stitch. And of course, \u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Sock\u003c\/strong\u003e can simply be a fun statement piece to celebrate sock knitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socks are knit from the cuff down, starting with a half-twisted rib pattern. Stranded colourwork creates the statement on the outer leg, while the rest of the leg is covered with a simple checkerboard pattern. Both the heel flap and foot are worked in one colour, and the checkerboard pattern reappears in a detail just before the toe. For the line spacing between the words, you will use the ladderback jacquard technique. Do not worry if you are new to this technique—these socks were my first time working with it, and I was surprised at how easy it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 sizes, corresponding to shoe size EU 35\/36 (37\/38) 39\/40 (41–43) 44–46\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRecommended yarn:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFingering weight sock yarn in one main colour and one contrast colour, e.g. Woollentwine Ovis Sock or Pascuali Pinta\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn estimates:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMain colour:\u003c\/span\u003e approx. 200 (240) 270 (300) 360 m \/ 220 (260) 295 (330) 390 yds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eContrast colour:\u003c\/span\u003e approx. 70 (75) 75 (80) 85 m \/ 75 (80) 80 (85) 90 yds\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeedles and notions needed:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDPNs (5 needles per set) OR circular needles with minimum length of 80 cm (32”) (if you prefer to knit socks with the Magic Loop method), sizes 2 mm (US 0) and 2.5 mm (US 1.5)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estitch markers, tapestry needle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGauge:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eStockinette:\u003c\/span\u003e 34 stitches x 46 rows = 10 x 10 cm \/ 4 x 4” on 2 mm (US 0) needles in the round, blocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eColourwork:\u003c\/span\u003e 34 stitches x 35 rows = 10 x 10 cm \/ 4 x 4” on 2.5 mm (US 1.5) needles in the round, blocked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLevel of difficulty:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eintermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechniques (explanation\/tutorial included):\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estranded colourwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eladderback jacquard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincreases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edecreases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eduplicate stitch embroidery (optional)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"greenermakes","offers":[{"title":"German","offer_id":56503738106187,"sku":"g-7466281","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"English","offer_id":56503738138955,"sku":"g-7466281","price":6.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/7994\/3499\/files\/IMG_1821_Quadrat.jpg?v=1770895298","url":"https:\/\/greenermakes.com\/en\/products\/what-the-sock","provider":"greenermakes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
