編み物本　Socks of Iceland | helene magnusson

Hélène Magnússon reimagines the traditional Icelandic sock in her book Socks of Iceland. Inspired by old Icelandic socks, historical patterns, and traditional Icelandic mittens, the book features 17 distinctively Icelandic sock patterns. It includes a variety of techniques and structures for beginners and advanced knitters alike. The history of Icelandic sock knitting is also presented. The 17 socks, including mid-calf socks, high socks, and half-leg socks, come in a variety of sizes, with different techniques (strand knitting, little lace and cable, slip stitch, etc.), interesting constructions, top-down and toe-up, heel and toe There are also many variations. Some use interesting new techniques, others are simpler. There is something for everyone, from beginners to advanced players.

Of the 17 designs, 14 are new and three are reprints. Mosi socks published earlier this year, Barði, an Icelandic Yarn Club 1 exclusive, and the DK version of the Icelandic high socks featured in Socks around the world, published in 2011.

All of the socks in the book are knit on Katla Sokkaband, an Icelandic lambswool sock yarn made by Elaine for DK/sport, and are unique! If you want to use other similar yarns, the gauge for most socks is 10cm/4 inch stockinette knitting with 26 yarns and 32 rows of yarn. Gauge was achieved with 2.5mm needles, but some test knitters went down to 2mm needles or up to 2.75 or 3mm needles.
