Another pattern from Cat Ware, The Quinzhee Socks have just been released as an OPAF pattern!
/ˈkwɪnzi/
“A Canadian snow shelter that is made from a large pile of loose snow which is shaped then hollowed to create a domed chamber inside. A quinzhee can be made for winter camping and survival purposes, or for fun.”
What’s more fun than handmade woolly socks to keep your toes warm on chilly days? The signature zigzag ‘Quinzhee cables’ not only look great but create a highly textured ribbed fabric which has lots of warmth and stretch. My husband absolutely loves ribbed socks because they provide such a great fit and they have definitely become his most worn pair by far!
Follow instructions based on your size only. Use the set measurements (detailed in the pattern metadata) or add your own leg and foot lengths for a customised fit. Even enter your own row gauge (if different to that specified in the pattern) to further customise your sock and help you achieve the best fit!
The links to this pattern can be found on the Pattern Index which can be accessed directly from the app. Alternatively, head to Cat’s Website, Ravelry or LoveCrafts stores. Purchase the pattern then use the QR code found either in the Quick Link PDF or the main pattern to get your hands on the OPAF version.
