Yarn for the Shabka Socks – Gator Sport

From: $42.00

These socks bring beauty and practicality from the knitting traditions of the High Atlas Mountains.

Pattern: Shabka Socks by Irene Waggener. It’s in her book Keepers of the Sheep. You can order it directly from Irene on her web site/Etsy store, www.106metersfromtheroad.com

Yarn: 2 skeins of Morehouse Merino Gator Yarn in contrasting colors

Needles: The High Atlas knitters often use bicycle spokes as needles! That translates to about a US #0. I was most comfortable and liked the fabric with a US #3.
If you have a 0, 1, 2, 3, let’s give them a try! It’s really about using what you have to get a fabric you like.

Yarn - Color 1 1 Yarn - Color 1

Yarn - Color 2 2 Yarn - Color 2

Needles 3 Needles

The pattern recommends double-pointed needles, and you can also use two short circulars (16") or a loooong circular for magic loop (32" to 40" would be good).

Don't see the size you'd like? Head on over to our needles section at left!
