HOUNDSTOOTH CHECK SOCKS
|
|
The houndstooth motif is a classic! I've joined small and large versions together in this colorful design, shown here in 2 colorways - lighter, springtime colors and deeper, autumn colors.
The heel flap, heel turning and toe shaping are all in heel stitch pattern, both for extra durability and for the aesthetic of having a design element repeated elsewhere in a design, creating balance.
Both colorways are knit in Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted, an all wool yarn with such wonderful yardage, it knits well as a DK.
