Hubby Socks for May

Well i have finished my May socks in plenty of time and i have another pair in progress on the needles.
These socks were made for my hubby, Steve.
I used a knittery sock yarn in the colourway mist (discontinued) ~ really like the colour so it's a shame i can't get more.
Pattern was "Just Yer Basic Sock" by Alyson Johnson.
I really like this pattern, very simple but classic.
Can Mooska have an M for May please...x

May Socks from Lyn

Hi,

What lovely socks have already been posted for May.

Here is my contribution. These are for my son-in-law as promised from last month. The pattern is Oak Ribbed Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks and the wonderful yarn is from Claudia Hand Painted Yarns. It required 2 1/3 skeins since the yardage is 175 per skein. I hope you will see the remaining 2/3 skein made into short socks or conbined with another yarn soon. Anyway, the fit is great and he is very happy with them.

Cheater May socks

A cheat because the majority of the pair was knit about two years ago. And then stuck in a cupboard and forgotten about! I finally dug them out and finished them this morning on the way to work.





Pattern - my own, which will be written up and available soon I hope!
Yarn - Brown Sheep Nature Spun Sport
More details on my blog.

Cristina May Socks

Pattern: Berlin Muster
Yarn: Elle, Sock Wool, Cherry Red, 4 ply
Needles: 2, 25 mm
Cast on: 1 May

Cast off: 20 May

Notes: Started with the cuff casting 62 stitches. When I finish the cuff I cast of two stitches, this way the cuff to me is always good to stretch. Made 3 repeats of the pattern in the leg. For the rest of the sock I made 3 and ½ repeats until the toe.

And here is the detail of the pattern.

May Socks

Hello and Happy Knitting - Made these for a friend that just had a baby girl (after three boys!). Since they are small I decided to make two different pairs. Used KnitPicks Merino (very soft) with size 3 dp needles.... Take Care - Renee'

One pair for May

I'm working on two different pairs right now, but I finished one pair so far for May. This was for Sock Wars III.



This is the Detonator pattern knit in Regia 4 ply. My target had a Size 10 foot. The pattern was interesting, but I thought it looked a bit big. I did get gauge. The pattern called for 72 stitches on US2's and the recommended yarn was Tofutsies. I hope they fit my target!
