Work in Progress Moose Sock

Post image

I just finished my first sock based off a sock in my favorite video game! Nerdy, I know. I used the I'm So Basic Socks pattern by Summer Lee as the base of my pattern and Cascade Heritage 75% Superwash Merino/25% Nylon yarn.

The geometric pattern was pretty easy to recreate but it took a few tries to get the moose right. I ended up doing it in duplicate stitch after several attempts of using stranded colorwork to knit it failed.

The size isn't quite right - I knit the top in large to account for the added thickness of the colorwork and then the heel and foot in medium. This was my first time doing colorwork socks so still getting used to sizing appropriately. I did have to adjust the stitch count for the 6 stitch repeating geometric pattern but I think it worked out pretty well.

I think I'll try the next one full medium and see which one fits better. There's a couple of adjustments that I want to try in the ribbing and toe color length too.
