I interrupt the shower of socks to bring you ...

... a wrap.

This is Groovy by Annie Baker but substituting garter stitch for the reverse stocking stitch sections in the pattern. I followed the lead of Melissa and Lisa, the excellent Espace Tricot ladies, and used Shibui Pebble ('Canal') and Silk Cloud ('Cascade') held together, and for the final pattern repeat - the pale blue edge - used two strands of Silk Cloud alone. The result is feather-light but very warm.

Yes!

Was there any particular reason for your stitch substitution?

Posted by: Sarah Nichols | 19 June 2018 at 09:56 PM

I prefer the look of garter stitch anyway, and the reverse stocking stitch seems to produce a more concertina-ed effect which I didn't want here.
