AUGUST POCUS - Sock knitting pattern re-edited version
Rediscover the AUGUST POCUS model, first offered in August 2012.
"This pattern was originally created for Biscotte Yarns Mystery Sock Club in August 2012. Ten years later, I'm happy to offer a revised version where the charts have been improved for easier reading.
Since the main chart is a pattern that develops on a purled background, I have changed the symbol representing these stitches to a white tile. I also added colors to the various cable symbols so that they can be more easily identified". - Louise

GAUGE : 32 stitches = 4 inches in stockinette stitch.
SIZES : Small (medium, large). Circumference of the leg (unstretched) is 18.75 (21.25, 23.75) cm
NOTES This model is worked from the toes-up to the ribs. It was knitted using the « magic loop » method with half of the stitches on needle 1 and the second half on needle 2.
If you prefer to use double pointed needles, you might divide your stitches in two equal halves in order to follow the instructions.
To bead the stitches, I recommand this tutorial: How to bead a stitch.
ENJOY!
