Pattern: Paraphernalia socks, largest size, for my dad (so they’re a bit big on the foot for me in the picture there)
Yarn: 2 balls of ONline Linie 2 Supersocke Silk in charcoal
Needles: 2.5mm circulars, magic loop
Despite how it looks, this pattern is not that complicated, as the cables pattern is only on one side of the leg and foot (the side facing outwards), and the rest is just simple 3×1 ribbing. I don’t have much experience knitting socks for a man (in fact this is the first time, as hubby doesn’t want knitted socks — go figure), but I think this is indeed a nice man sock pattern. The ribbing and cables keep them ‘manly enough’ I guess? Although that said, I wouldn’t mind something like this for myself either. I hope my dad likes them. Now I just have to finish my mum’s socks and then I can send them both.
