"Westside Socks", entire foot length 24 - 28,5 cm, easy heel

Product description

WESTSIDE SOCKS - a knitting pattern by fil-art-aue

***Far west - where waves thundering against the rocks, the Atlantic is rough and the wind blows in strong gusts - warm hand-knitted socks are essential, even for the big boys, real men and strong women!

A very decorative wave pattern runs as a double band along the outside of the leg, then merges into the heel at the back and runs along the outside of the foot as a simple band to the tip of the foot.

The socks are worked top-down on a circular knitting needle (= magic loop method) in rounds - i.e. from top to bottom or from the cuff towards the tip of the foot. Alternatively, it is also possible to work with DPNs or with trio-needles.

And don't worry about the heel! In my search for a really simple but well-fitting heel I came across the "Strong Heel". This heel was introduced in 2003 in "Knitters Issue 73" by Geraldine Crawford Strong - hence the name. This heel offers many advantages:

  • It is really easy to knit, because you only have to work simple increasings.
  • It is knitted almost continuously in rounds (with a few short rows), so no picking up of stitches from the heel flap and no annoying holes.
  • It can easily be adjusted to any foot shape or width and has an excellent fit.
  • With this heel shape, all kinds of patterns can be easily "built in".

Skills Required / What You'll Receive

In order to knit the socks, basic knowledge and some practice in knitting is all you need. All steps are explained in detail. For techniques that might not be quite so familiar - such as elastic cast-on - there are also "links" to helpful videos. All patterns are both, charted and written!

You will receive a detailed knitting pattern in English language, with size informations and material specifications, tips, further links and photos.

Size Information

The socks are described for 3 widths, size US (Men) 6 - 11, UK 5,5 – 10,5. These socks can be easily adjusted. Attention: The Wave Pattern is too wide for smaller sizes!

Toll geworden!
In einem Anfall von "Stulpensucht" habe ich auch diese gestrickt. Die Anleitung ist sehr gut beschrieben. Fehler haben sich bei mir nur eingeschlichen, wenn ich vergessen habe, am Anfang einer Runde die 1. Masche der 1. Nadel auf die 4. umzusetzen. Das fällt dann aber sofort auf. Also: aufgepasst. Das Ergebnis ist super!

CANDLELIGHT SOCKS
Die Anleitung ist sehr gut ausgeführt und die Musterbeschreibung sehr gut. Durch das Muster der Rückseite der Socke läuft es sich aber bei empfindlichen Füßen etwas schlecht. Daher keine fünf Sterne Bewertung. Bei Weiterführung des vorderen Musters 1 sollte eine genaue Rundenangabe hinzugefügt werden. z.B. "fortführen des Muster ab Runde 23" Sonst perfekt zu stricken.

Tolle Vorlage
Ich habe die Mütze nach der tollen Anleitung gestrickt, aber dann feststellen müssen, dass sie nicht so locker aussieht wie auf dem Foto, sondern mehr wie ein Helm auf meinem Kopf aussieht, obwohl die Maßangaben: 54- 59 cm angegeben sind. Mein Kopfumfang ist 57 cm. Ich habe alles aufgezogen - obwohl schon vernäht, 37 g Wolle sind noch übrig und werde sie erneut stricken, allerdings den Bund höher und anstatt 98 Maschen für die Mütze, 112 Maschen stricken, bei 112 Maschen brauche ich dann 72 g und für den Bund etwa 20 g mehr.

Einfacher als gedacht
Die Beschreibung ist einfach und verständlich, das Muster ist weniger kompliziert, als es aussieht. Die Handstulpen kommen heraus wie auf dem Bild. Sehr schön!

Wunderschön
Das Muster ist wunderschön und die Strickschrift gut nach zuarbeiten. Ich habe die Stulpen mit Sockenwolle in einer leichten Verkaufsfarbe gestrickt. Das erste Paar habe ich verschenkt, werde mir aber auf jeden Fall auch eines stricken.

Leider nur in Englisch, daher etwas mühsam zu übersetzen, ansonsten eigentlich einfach zu stricken, nicht unbedingt für Anfänger geeignet.

    kurze technische Frage: bin gerade kurz vor dem Zwickel - du schreibst "nach 66 Runden", also zweimal die Strickschrift A à 32 Runden - da komm ich nur auf 64 Runden.. wo sind die fehlenden 2 Runden - hab ich da was übersehen? - oder soll ich einfach nach 2x Strickschrift A mit dem Zwickel beginnen.. Danke..

      Bitte nochmal genau nachlesen! Insgesamt 66 Rd im Muster arbeiten. Das sind 2 x die 32 Rd plus nochmal die ersten 2 Rd (= nach einer 2. Rd des Musters).
      Weitere Fragen zur Anleitung bitte per Nachricht oder Email.
