Mushermore Fairisle socks
PATTERN NOTES :
I was delighted to design these socks for LITLG. A tribute to their wonderful hand dyed sock yarn, that gets sent out all over the world from their studio near the Musheramore Mountain in County Cork, Ireland.
From the textured double thickness cuff with a pop of colour reflecting the detail of the two coloured toe, to the combination of classic fairisle with a modern textured twist, there is so much to enjoy about these Musheramore Fairisle socks !
Knitted top down, with an easy no-wrap short row heel, so you can try them on as you go, we recommend knitting these socks inside out to give the gauge a little bit of extra stretch.
