Pattern details
Pattern details
These top-down socks are super fun to knit with slip stitches forming the hot air balloon shapes. Choose eight mini skeins of fingering weight sock yarn or dive into your yarn pile to knit a stash-busting pair of Balloon Festival Socks. The cuff begins with a German Twisted Cast On and 2x2 ribbing, followed by the colour pop slip stitch pattern in the leg and top foot. A garter stitch heel flap curves around the heel for a cosy fit. Choose between four sizes and customise the leg and foot length to perfectly fit your foot. These socks can be knitted in as many colours as you like, so let your imagination run free!
Finished Measurements
Finished Measurements
6 7, 9, 10″ / 15 18, 23, 25cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking.
These are the measurements of the sock. Size 3 shown on a US 13 / EU 47 size foot with an actual foot circumference of 10″ / 25cm.
Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 7 8, 10, 11″ / 18 20, 25, 28cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm smaller than your actual foot circumference, so that the sock will fit nice and snug on your foot. The lengths of the cuff, leg, and foot are easily customisable by knitting more pattern repeats for a longer leg or foot or fewer pattern repeats for a shorter leg or foot.
