Amande
The Amande socks are a unique knitting pattern inspired by the elegant, elongated shape of almonds, celebrating their milky sweetness and soft, comforting texture. Perfect for knitting enthusiasts, these socks will add a touch of sophistication to your sock collection.
Designed for both new and experienced knitters, Amande socks are knit in the round from the cuff down, featuring a reinforced heel flap and gusset construction for durability and comfort. The rounded toe design provides a snug fit, ensuring these socks are not only stylish but also practical for everyday wear. The engaging textured pattern combines ribs, garter stitch, and clusters, beautifully adorned with delicate nupps, creating a delightful knitting experience that you'll want to revisit time and again.
The Amande sock pattern is specifically written for circular needles, but it can easily be adapted for double-pointed needles (DPNs) if that's your preferred method. This versatility makes it accessible to knitters using different tools.
