Prisoner of Azkaban Sock
by Audrey in Hufflepuff
I created this pattern as part of the Hogwarts Sock Swap fun. My swap partnerisin Ravenclaw,therefore | had touse grey and blue yarn. found this great skeinof Opal lemente yarn in my stash that had the perfect colours forit and wasoffl knit asweater for my sweetheart not long ago that used a very nice 9 stitches cable on the sleeve. I thought it looked a lot like chain links and that they would look very nice on a sock. And so the Prisonerof Azkaban socks were bom.lam happy to share this pattern with you and hope you willike it. The cables are a bit more complicated than regular cables because they require 2 cable needles and also, they require alarge numberof stithes on the leg because the $\boldsymbol{y}$ don't stretch very well. Material: Any fingering weight yarn, 2 circular neeldes #2 US (2.5 mm), 2 cable needles Yarn suggestions: (Ravenclaw) Lonas Laces Jeans, Opal Crazy # 1904 - (Hufflepuff) Lornas Laces Bee Stripe, Regia Nation #539 1 - (Griffindor) Regia Nation #5393 - (Slytherin) Online Sierra Color #8 90 Rain Forest
