There's not really a lot I can say about plain stocking stitch socks, because they're just that - plain. They'd be quite boring to knit too, if they weren't in such great self striping yarn. Yes, it's Kaffe Fassett again - I just love the colour use, and the intensity of the shades. And with the weather we've been having, one can never have too many pairs of hand knit wooly socks!

Mini Cable Socks

Design: Mini Cable Socks

Designer: Charlene Schurch from Sensational Knitted Socks

Yarn: Regia Design Line Kaffe Fassett (75% Wool and 25% Polyamide)

Colour: 4251 Landscape Storm

Needles: 2.5mm Knit Pro DPNS

 

Another pair of favourite socks - although I wish they weren't so blue ... The 'cable' effect is actually a twisted rib, very simple to do, but it looks very effective. The rib makes these socks very comfortable to wear, and because of the pattern row, not too tedious to do.

 

I again used a flap heel with a slip stitch pattern, which cushions them a little.

 

 

Corded Rib Socks

Design: Corded Rib Socks

Yarn: Regia Design Line Kaffe Fassett (75% Wool and 25% Polyamide)

Colour: 4258 Mirage Fire

Needles: 2.5mm Knit Pro DPNS

These are currently one of my favourite pairs of socks - the design is a simple pattern repeat based on 2x2 rib, yet it looks really exotic, the rib makes the fit great and the colours make me so happy :o) Kaffe Fassett's way with colour is just fabulous and right to my tastes. I think in larger pieces - needlepoints, fabrics, big garments, it does get a little overwhelming, but for socks - perfect!
