Strawberry Thieves pattern, ENG
The Strawberry Thieves socks are knitted in stranded knitting on five double-pointed needles from the cuff down. The pattern incorporates a reinforced Dutch heel and a round toe. There are only two colors per row, which makes these socks an easy knit. However, if you wish, you can work the strawberries in dublicate stitch at the end to add some extra color. The widht of the sock is the same in every size, but if necessary, you can always knit the leg with bigger needles than the foot to accommodate a wider leg.
