It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, Sweet Dumplin’ Socks in Bella Cash (pattern link here).
If you’ve been knitting along with us on our Bella Cash Socktober Mystery Knitalong, then you’re already familiar with today’s free pattern. However, you may not have seen the socks in their full glory!
Bella Cash was developed for garments and accessories. It wasn’t until one of us said, “you know… this would make great socks” that the light bulb went on.
I mean, who wouldn’t want machine washable socks with a touch of cashmere? I use Bella Cash for the knitworthy people in my life. Including me. (And yes, they really are machine washable. I’ve tossed my Bella Cash socks in the washer and dryer many times.))
Rachel Brockman designed the Sweet Dumplin’ Socks to be a fun sampler of techniques – right and left twists on the cuffs, Fair Isle on the leg, and a lovely texture on the foot.
She used her favorite heel – the afterthought – to finish it off. And she picked colors and patterns that shout “autumn.” I’ve been knitting along, and these have been a joy to work on.
We hope you have a great weekend, maybe with some old-fashioned apple dumplings with a side of ice cream.
Happy crafting!
