The North wind is extremely beautiful pattern by Niina Laitinen. I have knit this pattern several times ankle high. I loved the dark deep blue I made this in years ago. This time I wanted a longer leg and light gray color in Novita 7brothers yarn. The yarn is advertised as aran weight, but it is worsted in practice - it gives the same gauge as worsted for sure when knitting socks. This pattern is very warm thanks to its braided pattern. It is very warm and wonderful to wear in the winter.
Pohjantuuli on suunniteltu lyhyemmälle varrelle. Muuntelin sukkaa siten, että lisäsin taakse palmikkorivejä ja palmikoiden väleihin nurjia silmukoita, joista sitten kaventelin pohkeen jälkeen sopivin välimatkoin alkuperäisen mallin silmukkamääriin.
This pattern is designed for a shorter leg. I modified it by adding braids and purled stitches between the braids. I decreased evenly after the calf until I got the original stitch count of the shorter leg. Worked beautifully.
The pattern worked well with the modifications and the socks turned out beautiful and fitted just right. These socks ended up warming the feet of a friend in a challenging time of her life. I hope they bring comfort.
