Unisex Chunky Boot Sock – Project Kit

A note from knitwear designer Lizzie of NeliHandmade:

“I wanted to create something functional, for keeping your feet warm and comfortable, no matter what the elements throw at us, and a trendy accessory – great with ankle boots. I made this sock cuff fairly short so that it would look like what the American’s call a ‘Boot Cuff’.  Here in the UK, we would call it an ‘Ankle Warmer’.  It would look just the part at the top of your Chelsea Boot, allowing you to show the detail of the pattern. I also wanted to include a small amount of cable stitch but keep it nice and easy for the beginner knitter.

I chose to knit this on a circular needle using ‘The Magic Loop’ method – It could also be knitted using sock needles if you prefer them and already know how to use them. I personally really like the ‘2×1 Rib’ and I like to knit into the back of the stitch to create a nice neat/tight finish.  Finally, the purl definition rows were included just to add that little bit more to the design but again nothing too complex. I hope you enjoy knitting these quaint little socks, perfect to wear as a walking boot sock or for going out.”

Your Chunky Boot Sock knitting kit will arrive beautifully presented in one of our recyclable cardboard boxes. The sample photos show the knitted sock in Devon Closewool yarn (which is no longer available), however the lovely shades of our Westcountry Tweed aran yarn are offered as an alternative and part of this project kit.
