DIGITAL ITEM. Berry Special socks knitting instructions

Knitting pattern only. 3 pdfs, 1 in English, 1 in Spanish, 1 in German.

The Berry special socks are the perfect pick me up sock knitting pattern which can be knit at any time of the year, whether the strawberries are growing where you are, or you are just dreaming of Summer days on a cold and grey day in the Winter. And these socks are a very special treat because they are made with gorgeous sparkly sock yarn. Because everybody deserves to wear glittery strawberries!

These socks are knit from the cuff down with a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, have a `no wrap` short row heel and have a stranded colourwork pattern throughout the leg and foot. There are a couple of rounds per strawberry where 3 colours are knit in one round. Tips and tricks are provided for these sections. The toe is finished with kitchener stitch. This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with dpns).
