Emma’s Practically Perfect Sock Halves

Lynn and I are going to be busy tomorrow unpacking boxes. One is from Emma’s and we have new colours of Practically Perfect Halves that are available now on the website. These are fingering weight and are great for sweaters, shawls, cowls, socks, hats, mitts, gnomes, and ……





Half-sized skeins of our Practically Perfect Sock – a beautiful 2-ply merino and nylon blend that has just the right stretch and is soft against the skin. Makes for wonderful kits for many different projects!

80% Superwash Merino / 20% Nylon

200 yards / 50g skein   Weight: Fingering

See all the shades…

When we open the box we’ll put together new colours combinations for the Musselburgh Hat. The hat is knit with 2 skeins of PPS Halves.

The original swatchless hat pattern: a double-layered beanie with 4-point crown shaping. The multi-gauge pattern now includes 9 gauges, for yarn weights between light fingering and DK, and 6 sizes.

Have a single skein of yarn you’re not sure what to do with? Need something simple to keep your hands busy during zoom meetings? Looking for a gift that everyone will appreciate? Want to cast on right away without any prep? Cast on today, no swatching required, and discover for yourself why so many knitters have fallen in love with Musselburgh.

In what is essentially a three step project you’ll start with a centre-out cast-on and increase for the first crown; the next part is a beautifully meditative knit (perfect for those zoom calls!) of stockinette in the round; finally, you will finish off the hat by mirroring the initial shaping with decreases. This simple canvas is perfect for exploring your creativity through yarn choice, stripes or colour blocking. The hat is fully reversible, so working each half in a different colour or stripe sequence can turn it into two completely different hats in one.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Here is a link to our current kits.
