Finally making socks out of the yarn from Sock Summit 2011! Found this pattern/recipe on Just One More Row’s stripey sock threads. Used my normal JMCO + Cat Bordhi toe, 2 at a time on 2 circs. Learned the Sweet Tomato heel. Bound off with a picot bind off. Submitted to Knitabulls stripey sock knitalong
adapted the Cladonia for mitts.
unblocked gauge: 24st/4” x 17rows/2” blocked gauge: 23st/4” x 18rows/2” sizing due to gauge being looser (and liking the fabric), sizing down. the 42” size should make a 45.5” (262st5.75 in new gauge). Bust measurement is 44 1/2. Cast on for 42”. Knit anytime it has a distance, use 46” size. 12 increases for armhole…
using 2 sets of circular needles. Making 2 cowls for sale.
I modified this pattern to be smaller since he was a preemie. I also carried a strand of Bernat Softee to make it use more of the color out of the booties that went along with it as a gift. I omitted the pompom and the top looked beautiful without it.
