The 'Hope & Sunshine Sock' pattern by Tracie Millar is available for purchase on Ravelry here.
The Hope & Sunshine Sock Socks feature a sporty & elegant design, which is fun and simple to knit.
Worked from the top down, they start with a striped 1x1 ribbed cuff in the contrast colours, followed by a simple cabled pattern on the leg and foot in the main colour.
The simple cross cables are designed to reflect the breast cancer ribbon emblem shape and also the support and care we wish for everyone going through breast cancer.
A heel flap & gusset construction ensures a good fit, together with a rounded toe, knit in the contrast colours for a further pop of 'sunshine'.

Gauge & Needles: 28ts to 10cm using 2.25mm - 3.25mm needles.

It is a high twist yarn which provides for great stitch definition.
Perfect for socks, garments, shawls & other accessories.
Hand-dyed in small batches in Tasmania.
The beauty and nature of hand dyed yarn is that every skein is unique and individual. Even within the same dye batch variations between skeins can occur.
We therefore recommend alternating skeins within your projects to ensure an optimal finish and colour blending.
Please also ensure you buy enough yarn for your project at the time of purchase, as colours can vary between dye batches.
Our yarns come twisted in a skein and will need to be wound into a cake before knitting. You can do that yourself or have it done by us using our Cake Your Yarn service.
Our hand dyed yarns have been washed to remove excess dye, however some residual dye may remain, particularly in dark and saturated colourways.
It is recommended to gently hand wash your hand dyed projects in cold water.
Wool wash or a mild detergent may be used.
We recommend blocking and drying garments flat and not tumble drying.
