Knitters with immense wit will love these socks that celebrate the house for the cleverest witches and wizards at Hogwarts. The design combines medieval heraldic design and a loyal cheer with the house colours to clothe the wearer in Ravenclaw magic!

The socks are knitted in the round using stranded technique on 2.5mm/US1½ DPNs at a tension of 44 rounds and 38 stitches to 10cm/4″. Those who are proficient with other popular techniques for knitting narrow tubes (with two circular needles or ‘magic loop’) should find the pattern easy to adapt to these styles.

The pattern gives full instructions for knitting each element of the sock with all relevant charts included. It also provides clear guidance for adapting the calf for larger sizes, and provides a choice of two foot lengths (‘short –medium’, and ‘long’).

Materials required are 100g each of a medium blue and a warm brown 4ply (fingering-weight) sock yarn and some knitting-in elastic (for the cuffs).

Although this original design is inspired by the fiction of J.K. Rowling, it is not official or licensed merchandise, and should not be perceived as such.
