I cranked on my 2024 Advent Socks Take Two and those puppies are DONE!

Pattern: My own 68 stitch “recipe” for toe up vanilla socks and an afterthought heel

Yarn: 2024 Advent Stripe from The Cozy Knitter Bliss base and one mini skein of Red Door Fibers Heels & Toes in Hint of Grey

Needles: US 1s

With the added contrast heels, toes and cuffs and then the little flecks, this project racked up 351 yards of yarn. And I was pleasantly surprised that they fit was good. The alterations I made to the afterthought heel worked and I didn’t make these too large.

Really pleased with how matched these came out. And it feels just satisfying to use up every bit of the Advent skein and contrast AND a bonus mini skein. I love marking my yarn “completely used up” in Ravelry. The floats do give the socks a texture on the inside and they may not make the best boot socks. Perhaps socks for being cozy around the house?

I will definitely work this fleck again as I like how it add some visual interest. Happy Knitting!!
