The Keep on Growing socks are designed by Tea Bercek, a fab indie designer. Click here for the Ravelry link if you’d just like to buy the pattern, without the yarn. Or here on her LoveCrafts page.
This kit contains enough yarn to make a pair of socks in any size. Please be aware that this kit does not include the pattern.
Yarn
John Arbon Textiles Exmoor Sock
Tea created this wonderful pattern to celebrate the release of our newest shades of Exmoor Sock. Creating the sample in ‘Peggles’ (berries), Tea really captures the bright and cheerful vibes of our trusty sock yarn. Us Mill Folk just couldn’t decide which colour to cast on first, so we’ve made these kits in all our four newest shades – ‘Peggles’ (berries), ‘Plashes’ (puddles), ‘Fairy Thimble’ (foxgloves) and ‘Fuzzpig’ (hedgehog).
Sizes
S, (M, L)
Further sizes can be achieved by going up or down a needle size. The length of the leg/sock can be easily adjusted by knitting more or less of the foot section.
Recommended ease
Approx. 1” / 2.5 cm of negative ease.
Needles
Inspired by nature that keeps seeds safe during the winter, and allows them to blossom in the spring, these socks are a reminder that growth will happen! They are knitted in the round from the toe up, ending in 1 x 1 ribbing. The cable pattern is a methodic 8-row pattern repeat that cleverly combines slip stitches with cables. The pattern is written using the magic loop circular needle method but can be knitted with DPNs or any other circular preferred method.
