Stuttar raddir
From € 5,00
Those toe-up socks are all about short rows, hence their Icelandic name Stuttar raddir. Short rows make for the striking pattern bands that seem to be wrapped around the sock and that remind of the woven bands which were traditionally laced around Icelandic socks – otherwise rather plain – to hold them in place. Of course, the socks also feature a short row heel!
The socks end up with a tubular bind off for an elastic yet beautiful cuff.
Yarn used: Katla

Many methods exist to make short rows: in Iceland we use the yarn over method, which is my favorite of all because it’s simple and intuitive and it makes the counts very easy. Any time I encounter another method in a pattern, I will always substitute the yo method for it. It’s very simple: for example, if instructions say “wrap & turn”, I will do “turn, yo” instead.
