Popcorn Mitts

Well loved how the Popcorn or Bobble socks came out and decided to knit up a pair of fingerless mitts with the same pattern and with a thumb. It was a bit of a challenge but I love how they came out. The basic popcorn stitch that I did is below and I am thinking of writing this pattern up but have to knit another pair to make sure it all works out correctly. What do you think?

Every 8th stitch of the sock was where I created a popcorn stitch. So, 

1. in the 8th stitch, K2 stitches (K1 in back and K1 in front)

2. Turn:P2 in each of the 2 stitches you just did

3. Turn K4  stitches you have created

4. Turn: S1 , P1, P1, S1

5. Turn: K2 tog, K2 tog and slip stitch over K stitch.

That's it!

Criss Cross Sock

Something from my very early days of patterns....at the time I was investigating Intarsia Knitting and developed this pattern. I liked the entire pattern as when taking a look at the inside of the sock there were no floats and it was as if the pattern was just woven into the sock. Perfect...and thought I would knit another pair. Lots of patience in this one.
