FO – Boifriends Anniversary Socks!
nniversary Socks = complete!
Pattern: BFF socks by Cookie
Yarn: 4ply cashmere merino by The Knittery – in Chocolate Royale (2 skeins). The colour is more accurate in the second photo.
The Boi totally loves these socks. Hy said they are the most skilled things hy’s ever seen me make (shucks!). The pattern was SO easy – and the yarn was thick and springy, but lacks the stretchiness of normal merino. The cable pattern was easy and quick, while the instructions were concise.
Mods – The only things i changed were the heel – i made it a slipped stitch instead of a normal heel, and the toe – the Boi likes a few rows of plain knitting before decreasing to compensate for big toes hehe. The socks took 2 x 100grm skeins (yikes!) so i had to get an emergency one from Daphne at The Knittery. Thank goddess she had one more left in the same dyelot. Now i have to figure out what to do with 3/4 of a ball – babys hat maybe?
Overall – I would rate this pattern with a 9.5/10. Highly recommended!
