27 Knots

**27 Knots DK Weight Sock Pattern: A Nautical Adventure for Your Feet!** Introducing the 27 Knots sock pattern, the perfect DK weight sock designed specifically for boots! This charming pattern features a unique cable design that is reminiscent of strong winds at sea — an homage to its nautical theme. The name "27 Knots" isn’t just catchy; it has a backstory that ties directly to my husband’s profession as a Tugboat Captain, where we measure wind speed in knots (nautical miles per hour). Did you know that 27 knots represents Gale Force winds, strong enough to blow away various objects? This playful connection inspired the intricate cable patterns that you’ll find in this cozy sock design! The 27 Knots pattern is not only visually appealing; it also includes comprehensive instructions that allow you to easily alter the length of the sock to ensure a perfect, customized fit for any foot size. Whether you’re looking to knit a pair for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these socks are versatile and practical for any occasion. **Notions Needed:** - Stitch Markers - Cable Needles - Stitch Holders - Tapestry Needle You’ll need approximately 264 yards of a DK weight yarn for this project.
