Stalwart Left Right Socks

HeartStrings knitting pattern #A32

As the name implies, these Stalwart Socks are designed to be extra strong and robust. A linen/merino blend yarn is recommended — the linen for strength and sturdy wearability; the merino for wearable cushioned softness.

These socks have added features for wearing comfort by conforming to the shape of the ankle and toes. The handsome textured knit/purl diagonal block stitch pattern transitions into ribbing at back of leg for an ankle-hugging fit and the toes have left and right shaping.

Sample socks were knitted with Louet Merlin Sport, color Cloud Grey.
