Slippers "Candlelight Socks", Size US 4.5 - 9.5, UK 3 - 8

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

When it's storming and snowing outside, we make ourselves cozy inside with hot tea, candlelight and cuddly socks! With the fluffy slippers "Candlelight-Socks" cold feet are no longer an issue - and they may also go to bed with you if needed ;-)

You need 4-ply sock yarn, solid, semi-solid or mottled and a lace weight mohair-silk yarn. Both yarns are held together - so the socks become super fluffy and are also knitted in no time! A great project to reduce sock yarn stash - and also long "guarded" yarns can finally find a good use here!

The slippers are worked cuff down. All sections are described in detail, from the cuff, over the heel (with short row heel turn) to the toe. A beautiful Cable Stitch Pattern adorns the front/top of the socks - and it reminds me a little of burning candles.... For the small cables you don't need a cable needle and the larger cables only take place 4 times, so relaxed cable knitting!

I had huge fun putting together nice color combinations with matching mohair yarns! And I could surprise dear friends with cuddly house socks! I could'nt stop at all and I have to warn you: This project is addictive ;-)) **HAVE FUN!
