The Back of Beyond - Socks
About The Back of Beyond
From Natalie Sheldon, the designer: "When I hear the word “campfire” I immediately think of our rustic camp in the woods. We often build a campfire to cook up our meals, heat our water, or just to relax and enjoy the evening.
To me, campfires evoke a feeling of calm, quiet solitude – a back-to-basics feeling away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I hope knitting (and wearing) these socks brings you the same feeling.”
This pattern is worked top-down, in the round, beginning with a long-tail cast on and 2 x 2 ribbing. Each size casts on the same number of stitches, and your size will be determined by your gauge.
The colourwork then begins and continues down the foot. Scrap yarn holds the place of the afterthought heel until the entire sock is knit. A wedge toe completes the foot. Finally, the scrap yarn is removed, and the afterthought heel is worked. Duplicate stitching can be added as desired.
If you prefer knitting toe-up, you can hold the charts upside-down and use your favourite toe-up method.

Please note: The new batch of Snowdonia Sock is dyed on a darker base than before. Some of the colorways have the same names, but are darker than the same colorways purchased before November 2023.
