Start Summer of Socks Off With a Bang!
Finally! Just in time to ring in Summer of Socks 2007, I’m proud to announce the release of the final Sock Madness 2007 pattern to the general public. The Mashup Madness sock tosses in some lace and cables and mixes them all up into a fun and challenging sock pattern that is perfect for three season wear. It is topped off with a fun scalloped edge that looks like a crocheted edging, but no hook came anywhere near this sock!
Mashup Madness is written for 2 circular needles knit from the top down, but should be readily adapted to magic loop or DPNs; to maintain the scalloped edge, cuff down construction is required.
Some improvements have been made to the pattern since its original release. For purists, there is information on how to knit the socks as originally submitted to Sock Madness. There is also info on how to adjust the pattern for a more shapely calf. The stitch patterns are presented in both written and charted form so you can use the method you are most comfortable with.
