Voronet is a monastery in Bukovina (Romania) painted in a unique kind of blue called now the “Voronetz blue”. The name might sound masculin, but these are very much WOMEN SOCKS. They are based on the Right Slant Rib free pattern on Vogue Knitting website. I’ve worked out the Left Slant Rib version and adapted the pattern to circular knitting. One strong advice - don’t work tight.

Be careful, I’ve put the socks on the wrong way around for the photographs!

I know there’s a lot of crap for sale on Ravelry, I am offering this quality sock pattern for free, so I do expect some feed back on my pattern - please LEAVE A COMMENT, then download the pattern - PDF or DOC. Thank you!

I finished knitting this socks - my own “invention” - a couple of months ago and since the Romanian market does not offer a lot of options (crapy old “Red Coats” - “Sport Socks”, which comes in about 4 dull colors and it’s only 75% wool) when it comes to wool I thought it would be a good idea to submit the pattern to Knitty, asking to be paid in wool instead of money. Since the pattern was rejected by Knitty I only have to look forward to my next trip abroad when I’ll be able to do some wool shopping. (I’m mentioning the rejection because I have noticed that many people google “rejected by knitty” hoping that the result will give them an idea of this magazine’s standards - here is an exemple)
