Horcrux Socks

If you have read Harry Potter (or watched the movies) you have heard of a horcrux. Tom Riddle (Lord Voldemort) divided his soul and put the pieces into objects -- making a horcrux. So a horcrux is a creapy object -- but these socks are really a tribute to Harry. The Z in the design, his scar.

 

I used worsted weight, Plymouth Encore yarn. I really needed to pay attention to the pattern because of all the yarn overs. And I always review how to SSK, I have trouble remembering to slip knit wise. The best suggestion I can make is to count the stitches after you do a row with all the yarn overs. If you make a mistake you can correct it before going too far.

I think the socks came out great.They are a free pattern on Ravelry, available in worsted and fingering weight.
