Fashion For Herder – A Free Sock Pattern

Sock pattern no 8 from Fashion for Herder is an eight-page tutorial in knitwear patterns. It is intended for new knitters. In this tutorial, you will learn how to make a sweater, a cardigan, a blanket, a pullover, a bootie, and a cap. It also describes various sock colors and techniques in addition to describing the different kinds of knitting needles. The text is divided into three parts and the fourth part contains a separate format for a sample knitting project.

The rye sock pattern was designed specifically for aran or worsted weight wool, so you’ll be able to knit a quick and sturdy sweater, or blanket. The pattern uses the standard knit stitch patterns, including the usual cluster, single crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, and half-double crochet stitches. However, if you prefer to work on sock-light yarn, you can work with the freebiebie rye magic loop pattern, which is included in the book. It doesn’t contain the short-row cast-on stitches that are included in the pattern book. It is an excellent resource for experienced knitters as well.

With the short-row cast-on, stitches are worked on one side at a time as they are formed along the bottom of the leg (a called the instep). You can find lots of options for working the instep, including circular, knitting from the back of the heel, knitting across the instep, and knitting in the front/back of the heel. In this part of the tutorial, the patterns describe the placement of the toe cast-on. It is placed under the instep so that you’ll have even tension on the yarn as you work the stitches. Last, but not least, you will learn how to tie the hessian.
