Eight Days A Week

You didn't really think you had seen all the pattern when we were done with socks for Monday to Sunday, did you? Of course we are not yet done, because already The Beatles sang about 'Eight Days A Week!. ;-)

When I was a kid I actually found the title really funny, because I couldn't understand why they didn't know that the week only has seven days... Of course, now  I know that you say 'eight days a week' because with this way of counting you mean today in a week and count today as the first day. Anyway, for all of you who can't get enough of hand-knitted socks and who would like to have an extra pair for today, here we go with Eight Days A Week.

These socks are worked from the cuff down with heel flap and gusset. Except for the sole, the socks are worked entirely in 1/1 ribbing. The eye-catching feature is the eight columns in ribbing, which thanks to clever increases and decreases spiral down the leg. The pattern is continued onto the heel flap and the instep.

Eight Days A Week also is an individual pattern or, if you prefer, part of the collection with the same name. You can get both from my Ravelry store, here.

Happy knitting!
