A wonderful new beaded sock design from Sivia Harding!
The Cherry Blossom Socks bring to mind the gentle motion of the little blossoms as they fall all too quickly from the trees in Spring. They feature a lace rib and columns of beads that flank a lively cable winding down the sides of the sock.
The beading technique for these socks is very easy - just allow the pre-strung beads to rest between stitches. Full instructions are included, along with charts.
Sivia recommends any solid, semi-solid, or subtle handpainted sock yarn. This pattern is not suitable for self-patterning sock yarns.
The pattern requires 672 size 8/0 beads and some type of threader to string the beads.
You will also need 2 - US 1/2.25 mm circular needles for knitting socks in the round.
Size: Women’s medium. Leg measures 7.5" from cuff to ankle.
The photo to the right is the sock as Sivia originally did it. Choose any of our fingering weight yarns (2 skeins will do it) plus one container of 8/0 beads or triangles -- should be glorious!
