I used a non twisted rib on the cuff for a change with a no purl modification. Everything else is as CookieA's pattern states. I used 2.5mm needles for the sock but 2.25mm needles for the heel flap. :)

Paul socks.................one down......................
One of the Wollmeise Sockenwolle Paul Monkeys now done. This yarn is really divine to work with, very soft despite not yet being washed!

wow, they're fantastic - I do love a bit of wollmeise ;)
ReplyDeleteThat yarn is terrific! I much prefer the all-knit mod to the original when a variegated yarn is used.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sock - the yarn and pattern work very well together. I have yet to try to Wollmeise but have heard so many good things about it - one day....
