Good to know

Uni — your questions, answered

Why is one colour different from the pattern?
Sapphire blue heather (9968) is no longer made. This kit has space blue (1233) in its place — colour A, for the leg, foot, heel and toe; the amber top is as in the pattern. Space blue is brighter than the deep, denim-like blue of the sock in the photo. You can choose another shade in the colour picker.
Which size should I knit?
The pattern has two sizes, “Ladies/children” and “Men”, with 34 and 36 stitches around the foot. It gives no shoe sizes: you knit the leg to 14 (16) cm, or the length you like, and the foot for 22 (25) rounds or until it reaches a little past the little toe. Try the sock on as you go.
Will I have yarn left over?
The kit holds what the pattern lists, the same for both sizes: 2 balls of space blue and 1 of amber heather. The pattern does not say “per pair”, but by our calculation that is enough for one pair, with most of the amber left over — it is only used for the 8-round top.
Is anything missing from the pattern?
Two numbers are not given; both are our reading of the arithmetic. At the toe, the decrease round is worked 4 times in all (with 5, 4, 3 and then 2 stitches at the ends), taking 34 (36) stitches down to 18 (20). At the heel, pick up 2 extra stitches at each side, so you have 34 (36) again. Note too that the toe instructions call the needles A, B, C and D — these are needles, not the yarn colours A and B.
Who designed them?
The pattern names no designer — it is from Ístex’s Lopi 24.
What does the kit with needles include?
5 mm (US 8) double-pointed needles — ADDI, as named in the pattern. Waste yarn for the heel is not included.
