Potterheads and Whovians

It’s been go, go go here at The Yarn Tree with the release of not one but two rather epic (if we do say so ourselves) yarn boxes.

For the Whovians among you we present the Doctor Who themed yarn box:

Each person who purchased the yarn box received:

• A skein of “The Hath” on bronze sparkle sock base
• (For those who ordered additional yarn) A skein of “11ths Interior”
• “The Hath” themed stitch markers custom made to suit crochet, knitter or both from Wychwood Dreams
• Vegan friendly love hearts with a specially designed wrapper
• A “bow ties are cool” hand crafted bookmark
• A hand crafted Tardis keyring from Geeky_Beads
• A Doctor Who badge.

If you missed ordering the box but just can’t live without the yarn then you have two more days left to sign up for your very own skein of The Hath, 11ths Interior or if you’re feeling very extravagant both!

While we’re discussing Doctor Who stay tuned to our Facebook and Instagram pages because we’ll be making a special Who announcement soon!

Our latest yarn box to be released is for all you Potterheads out there and it’s to celebrate the 18th birthday of The Philosophers Stone – how many of you are feeling old after hearing that?

Each box contained:

• A skein of “Hogwarts Express to {please insert your favourite house here}”
• A Skein of “Chocolate Frogs and Jelly Slugs”
• A set of house themed stitch markers once again from the fabulous Wychwood Dreams.
• A handmade owl themed project bag
• A Harry Potter badge
• A chocolate bar with a specially designed wrapper
• A hand crafted wand
• A Harry Potter wristband

We have to admit to being super in love with both the boxes and we’re pleased to have received some lovely feedback from our wonderful customers.

These 36 rows form pattern,  continue in pattern set until leg is approximately 1.5″ shorter than desired.

Heel

The pattern as photographed is done using the FLK, however most heel shaping patterns will lend itself to this pattern.

Foot

Continue in pattern set until foot length is approximately 2″ shorter than required.

Toe shaping

Commence stocking stitch

Rd1: *k1, ssk, k to three sts before end of “front” sts, k2tog, k1, repeat from *across “back” sts.
Rd2: knit around.

Repeat last two rounds until 32sts remain. Break yarn, leaving a long tail and graft together sts using Kitchener stitch. 

Block and enjoy :):)

The pattern is untested except by me so please don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you find an error!

Dr Who inspired “Wibbly Wobbly” socks

This pattern is for advanced sock knitters or those with a good working knowledge of sock formation and short rows. Afterthought heel and kitchener stitch also used.

The pattern is written using magic loop on a circular needle but can easily be adapted for DPN’s. For conversion, the “front” will be needles 1 and 2, the “back” will be needles 3 and 4.

The sock is worked in short rows, split into working the “front” and turning and working the “back”. Even shaping is achieved by rotating the sock by 1/4 turn after each set of pattern.

Materials required:

2.5mm circular needle
100g (400m) your choice of sock yarn (I used my own “11th’s Interior” – check out my Etsy shop for some great Dr Who inspired colourways.
Darning needle for grafting.

Abbreviations:

K – knit
P – purl
SOR – start of round
St(s) – stitch(es)
Tbl – through back loop
W&T – wrap and turn – this is the method used in this pattern, however, you are free to use whichever you prefer.

Cuff
Cast on 72sts, place SOR markers, join in the round and work 10 rows in 1 x 1 twisted rib (k1tbl,  p1)

Leg

Pattern round:
Part 1: (worked on front sts – needles 1 and 2 for DPN’s) – *k8 W&T, p6 W&T, (pick up wraps as they appear) repeat from * across 36 sts.  Row will end when you k8 and W&T into 37th st. With ws facing, purl to SOR marker, picking up all wraps.
Part 2: (worked on back sts), with ws facing, *p8 W&T, k6 W&T, repeat from * across 36sts. Row will end when you p8 and W&T into 36th st (from opposite side) NB. REMEMBER TO PICK UP THE WRAPPED 37TH ST FROM PART 1. With rs facing, knit to SOR marker, picking up all wraps.

Remove SOR marker and k18, this forms the quarter turn, place SOR. You will now work on the remaining 18 front sts and 18 sts from the “back”, these will become the new “front” sts with the remaining sts becoming the new “back”.

Repeat part 1 and 2 of pattern row. Remembering to wrap the end sts of opposite rows and picking up all wraps.

Remove SOR and, again, k18, replace SOR marker and commence both part 1 and 2 of pattern row (the observant amongst you will note you are working on the original “back” sts, the turns now mean these are front sts.

Continue in pattern set, rotating by a quarter (18sts) after each full completion of part 1 and 2.

After four turns, you will have completed a full rotation.  Continue as set to make the leg as long as you require. To ensure proper shaping, it is important to complete full rotations before shaping the heel. An afterthought or FLK heel works well with this pattern.

Once the heel has been worked, continue in pattern as set to complete foot length.

Toe shaping:

Working in straightforward stocking stitch:

Rd1: k1, ssk, k to 3sts before end of “front sts”, k2tog, k2, ssk, k to 3sts before end of “back” sts, k2tog, k1
Rd2: knit

Repeat last two rounds until 36sts remain, break yarn leaving a long tail and graft together toe using kitchener stitch.
