Boyland

$6.00

The Boyland socks are cozy fun socks featuring stranded colorwork, contrasting toes and heels and best of all, bobbles! These socks are knit cuff down and use my favorite heel method, German short rows.

I used The Farmer's Daughter Fibers gorgeously rustic Soka’pii for my sample, but any fingering weight yarn can be used, as long as you are able to match the gauge.

Needles

Note! Needle size is suggested only, you will need to swatch and block to determine the needle size needed to achieve gauge.

Gauge:

32 sts and 48 rounds over 4” [10 cm] in stockinette and colorwork, knitted in the round, after blocking.

Swatch both colorwork and stockinette as you may need

to change needle sizes to maintain an even gauge. You

should always knit your swatch the same way that the pattern is knit —in this case, in the round. Block your swatch as you will your finished garment and allow it to dry fully before measuring.
