Twisted Love Sock Knitting Pattern FREE for a limited period
This pattern is no longer available for free, but can be purchased via Ravelry
I mentioned a while back that I have been busy working on a mini collection of sock patterns, well it is nearly here. You may have seen some of pictures of yarn and beads on my social media pages and the fun I have been having choosing which beads, for which yarn…..
In readiness for it’s release I have designed a FREE sock pattern to entice you try beading with a crochet hook for yourselves. These beautiful cable and bead socks are simple to knit yet stunning to look at! New to beading with a cable needle? Fear not there are tutorials included in the pattern. (Be warned though, once you start you will be adding beads to all your projects!)
Not a fan of beads? Simply omit the beads and you will still have yourself a pair of very pretty socks.
For a limited period only you can download this pattern for FREE if you sign up to my newsletter here

Be able to;

ssk – slip 1, slip 1, knit these 2 slipped sts together
k2tog – knit next two stitches together to decrease one stitch

CDD – slip next two stitches together as if to knit, knit next stitch, pass slipped sts over

Pattern Notes:
The pattern uses the crochet hook method of apply beads. (Beads can easily be omitted from this design).
Sizing Notes:
The large cables make the sock a snug fit, if you are between sizes in the chart below, I suggest you opt for the larger size.
To choose the best fit, measure the foot around the widest point of the foot and knit the size closest to the ‘to fit foot circumference’ size.
Finished foot circumference: 18.5 cm / 7.25 in (20 cm / 8 in, 21.5 cm / 8.5 in, 23 cm / 9 in)
To fit foot circumference: 20 cm / 8 in (21.5 cm / 8.5 in, 23 cm / 9 in, 24.5 cm / 9.5 in)

lovely pattern . I signed up to the newsletter but the first link in the welcome pack does not work, the second link only shows how to bead, not the sock pattern.
Please help,

Hi Jane, I’m afraid yesterday the free sign up gift changed and is now the Learn to Bead PDF x
Thank you for your reply. It’s a shame that I missed it by a day and that the site didn’t tell me the freebie had changed.
