Noro Silk Garden Solo Sock Combo BLOG

Rye

This is a store project in progress, but the good thing about socks is half way is enough to show off. We’ve been working on a quick pair of Rye sockies with Noro Silk Garden Solo (which is presently on SALE). They’re super comfy, cozy, and FAST! Great house socks or slipper socks. The yarn really softens up as you work with it.

The pattern calls for 3 skeins, but if you’re making a size Adult Small or larger you can get away with 2 if you omit a few rounds). I found one sock (Adult Small/fits women up to shoe size 9) used about 52g, which is a smidge over 1 skein. The sizing is generous. You can use any worsted weight yarn (Malabrigo Rios would be GORGEOUS), just check the yardage requirements in the pattern.

Simply Ribbed Hat 
FREE Pattern by Haley Waxberg for Knit-O-Matic

This is a very simply styled hat that anyone and everyone can make and wear. The 1 x 1 rib helps the hat keep it’s shape and gives it a denisity for warmth. If the ribbing seems tight, don’t worry, we are making it tight on purpose because silk has a tendency to grow. We’ve also made it in a 100% merino wool, which is great beacuse it is soft and has lots of body (it’s puffy by nature). If you would like to substitute another yarn, consider going up to a 4mm needle (or a size 0.5mm less than the median suggested size on the ballband).
