Bear Paw Socks by Andrea Mowry

The Bear Paw Socks are an 8ply, or DK weight version of Andrea Mowry's most popular sock pattern - DRK Everyday Socks. She has jazzed them up by marling yarns, but this pattern works equally as well with 2 strands of fingering weight held together, or sub in a single strand of 8ply! These socks are knit from the toe up and sized for the whole family!

Our top pick for a single strand of this yarn is Manos Alegria Grande. While technically considered a 10ply or Worsted weight yarn, we knit it up in 8ply sock patterns and even teach with it in our sock classes. If you are based in Melbourne and would like to come along to one of our workshops and learn how to make socks please click here to make a booking.

If you would like to marl two strands together we love the idea of using Regia Premium Merino Yak, which already has a marled look and will lend itself very nicely to two colours being held double. 

We would also love to make a tweed version of the Bear Paw Socks with Regia Tweed 4ply held in two strands. Please remember that this yarn is sold in 50gm balls and you will need at least two to make an average size pair of socks. 

Pattern can be found on Ravelry here.
