Solar socks

Warm and yellow in the sky shines our own star, the sun. Warm and yellow are also the sun socks, knitted in a traditional Norwegian pattern with two colors that can of course be varied according to your wishes.

The pattern has two options for the ankle. The straight ankle has the same number of stitches across the entire ankle. The wide ankle starts with a few extra stitches that are decreased along the way so that the ankle narrows towards the heel.

The pattern also has two options for the toe and heel. You can choose a different type of toe and heel than those described in the pattern, if desired.

The pattern has four sizes that can be knitted larger or smaller by changing the gauge. The sizes are only a guide, use measurements to find the correct size.

The sizes can be knitted larger or smaller by changing the knitting tension, e.g. 34 or 36 sts on 10 cm. This is achieved by using thicker or thinner yarn and needles.
