Description

The Julgubbe Socks are an adorable, comfy and festive pair of socks featuring a cute Santa Claus motif around the cuffs. These socks are worked top-down, starting from the ribbed cuff. Cute little bobbles are created to top the Santa hats before moving on to the colorwork. After the Santas, the rest of the sock is worked in a relaxing lyce stitch. This pattern includes a heel flap and gusset construction, where the gusset decreases are worked on the bottom of the foot, finally finishing with a rounded toe.

These wonderful colorwork socks are knitted in Amble, a specially designed sock yarn made from a blend of eco-friendly washable wool and alpaca for comfort, as well as recycled nylon for strength. Since the yarn needed for the eyes of the Santa motifs uses so little, we only include the yarn for three shades in this kit.

Yarn:

The Fibre Co. Amble (70% Easy-wash Merino wool, 20% Easy-wash alpaca, 10% recycled nylon, 325 m (355 yd) per 100 g hank) in shade Appleby Castle (MC) – 1 hank (all sizes).

The Fibre Co. Amble Minis (70% Easy-wash Merino wool, 20% Easy-wash alpaca, 10% recycled nylon, 81 m (88 yd) per 25 g mini) in shades White Heather (CC1) – 1 (1, 2, 2, 2) mini(s), and Blencathra (CC2) – 1 mini (all sizes).

Colors:

Photographs show the socks knit in the shades Appleby Castle (MC), White Heather (CC1), and Blencathra (CC2).

Please note: a fourth shade is used for the eyes of the Santa motifs but this is not included in this kit. To make the eyes you can use some yarn from your stash, or you can purchase an extra Amble mini separately here.
