Sleepy Hollow socks, knit in Regia Stretch colour
Ah, socks. Socks for me. I started these a few months ago but came to an abrupt stop after the first of the pair when I lost my collection of socks needles. I finally managed to replace the set and cast on for the second sock right away.
I really like the construction of these socks and the way the sole and heel are knit. They are top down and feature a ‘footprint’ that is the same as an actual foot – that is it is narrower across the bottom of the heel than it is across the underneath of the ball of the foot. I’m going to have to take a picture of the sole of the socks when I can rope in a deputy photographer as my contortionist skills were limited to laying on the floor with my feet on the wall to try and get a picture of the socks being worn:
Do not adjust your sets, this picture is not upside down, I am.
I am hoping to use the same sock construction for some plain stockinette socks in the future as I love the way it hugs the foot in all the right places, widening at the point where the foot itself widens, and there’s no need to pick up any stitches or break and re-join yarn. Supoib!

Beautiful! I love the yarn and the pattern.
LOVE!!!
Nice! Only reason I want to learn to knit is to make socks…
They are gorgeous!
LOL. At the thought of you on your butt with your feet against the wall. What we won’t do for a good blog post.
Those are lovely!
Very, very nice. Do you think…just perhaps…that you could stop by my home for a quick sock lesson on next Saturday???? I only dream of making socks that beautiful! (sigh)
Beautiful socks and I love the colour- will have to add the pattern to my queue to torment myself with lol
Oooh I do like those socks
Beautiful! I adore the color that you chose!
Lovely socks! Have to add the pattern to my ravelry queue.
Thanks for the tip on these socks. I’m just about to finish my first pair of plain socks with this heel and I think it is going to become a firm favourite One I’ve committed the numbers to memory so that I can knit it without instructions I might work all my heels this way…
You are a seriously talented knitter! All your socks are perfect!!!! I think I have a case of ’sock-enviitis”…
