I Can Haz Sparkle Socks

I fell in love with the stitch pattern in Hunter Hammersen's new sock pattern.

• On Ravelry: Planorbis Corneus

• Pattern: Planorbis Corneus Sock by Hunter Hammersen, from Knitty First Fall 2014 or The Knitter’s Curiosity Cabinet, Volume III

• Yarn: 220 m/240 yd of Handu Ilun Erikoinen (75% merino, 20% nylon, 5% metallic sparkle)

• Size: L (64 sts)

• Mods: Continued the stitch pattern up to toe decreases.

The stitch pattern is quite inflexible – I suggest going up a needle size or sock size. I’ve knit socks for myself with 56 or 60 sts (S and M sizes in the pattern), but for this, I had to go up to 64 sts to get the cuff over my ankle.

This is probably also why the cuff is really short (two repeats maybe?) in the original pattern photos. I did 6 pattern repeats in mine.
