I have finally finished my Gingko Socks which I started in January. I really love the finish and it is keeping my feet warm and comfortable.
I loved using the hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard. As soon as I saw a skein of this yarn it reminded me of the Ginkgo leaves.
It is a toe-up socks using short-row knitting technique. The heel turn is also knitted the same way as the toe. It is my favorite technique for sock knitting because the resulting toe and heel is neat.
I used 2.75mm dpn and hand-dyed yarn from Yarn Yard (I couldn’t see the same colorway but don’t worry there are lots of beautiful colors available!). The total st number is 52 sts which made a small – medium pair of sock (foot and ankle circumference of 21cm). The ginkgo leaf motif is a repeat of 13 sts so to make a larger socks it is better to use larger needles and thicker yarn e.g. 3.25-4mm rather than increase st number.
