REALLY COMFY LAVENDER LADIES SOCKS
I had a visitor
from Perth – and it was a really sudden visit.
I love gifting my friends something made with love, handmade and
thoughtful. Perth has winters and my friend loves her bed-socks.. and she likes
to keep her toes warm but not too warm.
This lovely lacy pattern was just right for it – I thought that it
ticked all her little boxes.. and she loved it.. so Yaay !!

Materials used :
Today I’ve used under one skein of our lovely
Indian Oswal Cashmilon 3-ply acrylic yarn with a 5.5 mm crochet hook ; fabric glue to seal ends
This yarn is not specific for this project.
You can use any yarn with a suitable hook to make this project to any size.
International yarns : Among the international yarns I have used, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.
Stitches used :
Half Double Crochet : Hdc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk) ;
yo, draw through all 3 lps. One hdc made.
Chainless start for Half Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 start, and this is what I do to start my row of hdc. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/lWXpl1KdbZ8
Double Crochet : dc : yo, insert hk into st ; yo (3 lps on hk); [yo, draw through 2 lps] twice. One dc made. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/xdnjB27zpYo
Chainless start for Double Crochet : I dislike the ch-2 / ch – 3 start, and this is what I do to start my row of dc.
Invisible join : Here’s a quick tutorial on how to join using the embroidery needle and whipstitch to get an invisible join at https://youtu.be/a6XZQ6VzJFM
Abbreviations used :
lp(s) : Loop(s) sc : Single crochet
dc : Double crochet sp : Space
sl-st : Slip stitch ch : Chain
st(s) : Stitch(es) hk : Hook
yo : Yarn Over
Instructions : (Using U.S terminology)
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern.
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement. This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
I’d like to add here that Dorianna (of Lavender
Chair) has some absolutely awesome girls dresses too.. so do jog on over to her
page on Ravelry and have a look-see.
The pattern here uses a light worsted yarn with
a 5.5 mm crochet hook. We don’t get that
kind of yarn locally, so I used 2 strands of 3 ply Oswal Cashmilon yarn with a
5.5 mm crochet hook and am thrilled with the results.
May I add (naughty me) that I’m pretty tickled
with the title for this product.. using Lavender yarn for a Lavender Chair
creation (OK, so a bit lame.. but hey.. at the end of the day, if a smile has
been spread, it was worth the lameness)
Enjoyed this ?? I sure did.. come back right
here for more freebie patterns
