Pattern Review: Curly Purly Soaker

Ravelry Link.

This is one of the most popular wool soaker knitting patterns, and for good reason. It’s simple, easy, and adjustable. The needle size requirements is based on one’s own gauge instead of picking needle sizes, which I appreciate.

I used German Twisted Cast On and German Shortrows. I used a crochet ribbing for the small cuffs as I dislike knitting that small.

Ultimately, I would give it a 5 star rating. The instructions are clear, there’s nothing unusual about the pattern, and it has more than 3000 projects on its ravelry page. It’s also one of the most commonly seen patterns in wool soaker groups, and the ribbing pattern is easily recognizable among various posts.

Modifications:

  • German Twist Cast On
  • German Short Rows
  • Crochet cuffs
