Extra Thick Chrimbo Socks Pattern

These weren't originally designed to be Christmas sock. The star motif was inspired by an old Fair Isle jumper and the foot was just made of all the same colours. It's entirely made of yarn from stash: whatever colours that clashed enough to be noticeable from a distance. My actual goal with these socks was to create a design that was twice as thick as a regular DK sock. That's why every round has some type of fair isle colourwork: The floats pad out the sock. Mum in her new favourite socks If you've been following my patterns you will know that my mum has Raynaud's and needs the extra material to keep the warmth in her fingers and toes.

Romney Mittens Pattern

Named after the yarn used, I spun this Kent Romney into a heavy Aran yarn last year to made a jumper, and this is how I made use of the scraps. The contrast colour is a natural Jacob (also handspun). This of course can be made with any yarn from commercial to handspun. Anything that fits the gauge will do. The sample is a gift for my mother and so this pattern is designed with a small hand in mind and may not suit a man. Though if you are confident knitter you are welcome to experiment changing the stitch counts to fit your intended hand. The pattern repeats are very simple and easy to extend over a wider stitch count. Adding length can also be done by simply repeating the chart as needed. Gauge: 16 stitches per 4 inches You will need: 6mm DPNs or circulars Tapestry needle Stitch marker Abbreviations: MC - main colour CC - contrast colour st(s) - stitch(es)  R - round k- knit m1r - make one right ssk - slip slip knit *Pattern starts here* Using the main colour, cast on 24 sts and ...
