Le Grincheux Knitting Pattern
Here is the Grincheux socks model. This pattern was one of those offered in the 2022 Advent Calendar!
Here is a pattern I wrote in 2010 for a special Christmas knitting club on the theme of the "Grinch", a Dr. Seuss character I absolutely love! The movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" based on this novel and featuring Jim Carry as the Grinch is a classic at home: it's a favorite that I enjoy watching every year during the holiday season. I am happy to offer you a revised version of the original pattern: here is the Grinch version 2022… enjoy !! - Louise
In addition to the knitting pattern, you will need the following materials to knit Grincheux socks:
BISCOTTE YARNS
- BIS-SOCK [85% merino sw, 15% nylon; 400 m / 100 g] one 100g skein shown in Self-Striping Autorayante™ Grincheux (A)
- KID SILK [75% kid silk, 25% mohair; 210 m / 25 g] one 25g skein shown in Van Gogh or any equivalent yarn (ex : Katia Concept - 50 mohair shades) about 80 meters of a matching color (B)
NEEDLES & NOTIONS
- Circular or DPN’s needles of 2.5 mm; #US-1.5 (or size needed to obtain gauge)
- Tapestry needle
Also available as a knitting kit HERE
GAUGE : 32 stitches and 40 rounds = 10 cm in stockinette stitch.
SIZE : adult one size (foot length is adjustable)
NOTES : This model is knitted from the ankle to the tip of the foot with a short-row heel. To give it a festive Dr. Seuss look, I chose to create looped ribs that are worked with A and B together (held double), a garter stitch heel and a toe that bends upwards!!
This pattern is offered in a numeric PDF format: add it to your cart and follow every step to complete your order: a link to download your pattern will be provided once the order is completed and you will also get this link by email (make sure to check your spams if you can't find the email in your inbox)
