MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
These socks are the ultimate cosy, soothing pair for a chilly winter’s night. The kind of night when warmth and comfort are exactly what you need – and sometimes, that comfort comes in the form of a soft, snug sock. It’s often the small, simple things that make all the difference.
I named this pattern Tra because it’s the Irish word for beach, and the ridges on the sock remind me of the patterns left by the sea as it laps the shore.
If you need help with the pattern, please head to my YouTube videos and look for the one called ‘Casting onto dpns’.
CONSTRUCTION
Knitted on double pointed needles in the round in one piece from the cuff down.

GAUGE (tension)
20 stitches and 30 rows to 10cm square over stocking stitch pattern when slightly stretched. I obtained this gauge with 3.75mm needles. It is important to obtain gauge so do swatch and change your needle size to achieve the correct gauge if you need to.
