Thank you for visiting Cotton & Cloud blog.
I'm a knitter, sewer, crafter, CAT LOVER, animal lover, who wants to change the world for the better.
If you have some time to comment, I would love it! :D Have a nice day.
I have finally finished my Gingko Socks which I started in January. I really love the finish and it is keeping my feet warm and comfortable. I loved using the hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard. As soon as I saw a skein of this yarn it reminded me of the Ginkgo leaves. It is a toe-up socks using short-row knitting technique. The heel turn is also knitted the same way as the toe. It is my favorite technique for sock knitting because the resulting toe and heel is neat. I used 2.75mm dpn and hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard (I couldn't see the same colorway but don't worry there are lots of beautiful colors available!). The total st number is 52 sts which made a small - medium pair of sock (foot and ankle circumference of 21cm). The ginkgo leaf motif is a repeat of 13 sts so to make a larger socks it is better to use larger needles and thicker yarn e.g. 3.25-4mm rather than increase st number. ... for more information and the pattern, here is the link to the pattern (977KB to download)! Enjoy :DGingko Sock Pattern
Thank you for sharing the pattern! It is lovely! I have a tiny ginko tree growing in my yard. The leaf is beautiful. From what I have read online, my little ginko tree won't be little for long!
Thank you for the tutorial, Kyoko! These socks are just sooo pretty! I wish I could say I'm making good progress with the sock knitting...*sigh*...working with so many needles at once is still giving me grief. I am working on knitting a new baby cardigan for my baby niece...so some progress ;o) Happy week, my friend ((HUGS))
Thanks so much for sharing your pattern. These are so beautiful. I've never knitted a toe-up sock before, but I'm really keen to try these. Are you over on ravelry? I'll add this to my queue if so!
