Istanbul

Istanbul

The pattern I was most drawn to in the Cookie A Sock Club August edition was Istanbul, but I wanted the socks in a more delicate color than the club yarn, so I used the yellow end of the Skinny Bugga! Gradient Set 4. The pattern was pretty fast to knit, and it produces a nicely fitting, stretchy pair of socks. I've noticed none of the club patterns have been of the level of complexity as some of the other Cookie patterns I've knit recently. I've been drawn into more difficult sock patterns lately, but it's nice to knit more relaxed patterns every once in a while.

    1. Thank you! It is a somewhat unusual color choice for me, but I'm glad I went out of my comfort zone a bit.
