Pattern: Salida

Last year Yarnissima introduced me to the patterns with traveling stitches with her free pattern “Firestarter” I like the twisted patterns so much I was looking for more inspiration. So I bought the little books “Uberlieferte Strickmunster aus dem Steirischen Enstall” by Maria Erlbacher. Lots of traditional patterns, easy knitted or real complex are collected in these 3 volumes. The delicate and subtle look of the patterns invited me to design Salida.

A tiny cable and a little ladder will form a delicate border around the decorative panel filled with eyes, cables and knot work. I recommend using a solid, natural color or a semi-solid yarn for this pair of socks to show this detailed sock at best.

Salida is designed for size EU (37/38) 39/40, Woman US (6-7.5) 8-9. She is knitted over (62) 66 stitches on a circular needle using magic loop.

The traveling stitches combined with a rib make a snug fitting sock. Compared to a plain stockinette stitch sock knitted on similar yarn and needles, you will need about 10% extra stitches for a good fit. The pattern can easily be adjusted for larger sizes by adding an extra column of ktbl and p on the beginning and ending of a needle. This is a suggestion, not noted in the pattern or chart.

Requirements:

  • 1 skein of 100 gram / 420 meters solid or semi-solid sock yarn
    I have used Araucania Ranco Solid, colorway 483
  • circular needle 80 cm 2,5 mm

    Hi,

    I thank you for both of the beautiful patterns, Maeve and Salida. What was the most wonderful surprize is that you considerately included the pattern in English. Thanks so very much. I joined Sokketiers on Ravelry: bluewingteal and hope to find the pattern for Schier. It also looks like a nice challenge to wake me up.

    Thanks for this great adventure! Deb
