Leyburn Socks Close-Up of Lattice Pattern

Während ich noch fleißig am Whisper Cardigan stricke und parallel dazu die letzten Reihen eines einfachen Raglan-Pullovers, an dieser Stelle mal wieder ein Paar Socken, die irgendwann in den letzten Wochen fertig geworden sind. Sie dienten lange als S-Bahn- und Bus-Projekt.

While I’m knitting away on my Whisper Cardi and at the same time try to finally finish a simple top-down raglan sweater I’ll show you some sock pictures. This pair got done a couple of weeks ago. They were my public transport knitting for the longest time until I got really fed up with the pattern and finished them in one go.

Leyburn Socks Finished

Details
Pattern: Leyburn Socks by MintyFresh
Yarn: Lana Grossa Meilenweit 100 Fun (420 m/50 g)
Needles: 2.75 mm circ
Size: EUR 42
Construction: figure-eight cast-on, toe-up, flap heel
Comments: They came out nice and I like the color play between the main stitches and the slipped yarn a lot. But these socks are REALLY DIFFICULT to get on. Even though I changed the heel to a regular flap heel for more room in the instep and knitted them on 2.75 mm needles instead of 2.5 mm the strands you carry in front kind of bind quite a lot. They fit perfectly when worn though.
