Nello House Sock
Nello House Sock
Designed in honor of my Great-Uncle (Zio) Nello and the charming city of Venice, Italy which is dear to me. The pattern design along the front / top of the Nello House Sock is symbolic of the rippling waters of the winding Grand Canal in Venice which runs throughout the city.
The Nello House socks are intended to be worn as a slightly relaxed fit house sock. At DK weight, these socks are warm and cozy! The Nello House socks are knit (herringbone) cuff-down holding just one strand of sock weight yarn to begin, then transition to double-stranded for the remainder. This pattern includes a gusset heel and an optional modified three-needle bind off toe closure for a decorative exposed seam.
