Pattern: Wendy’s Toe-Up, using Barbara Walker’s Wicker Work pattern in the ankle Yarn: Koigu KPM, (chocolate) brown Method: Handknit Completed: September 27, 2007. |
This is a pretty generic toe-up sock, again using a Barbara Walker stitch pattern (Wicker Work, Second Treasury) for the ankle patterning. This time, I got the pattern done properly, unlike last time.
I did make something of a gusset in the heel of this pair.
These socks pretty much used up the entirety of 2 skeins of the KPM, for a size 10+ man’s foot. Really, the ankles could have been more generous in width, and a little more height would have been good. Lesson — get 3 skeins for larger feet!

A pair of socks, on the intended feet! Note (here, and above — heel gusset). |
