Andrea Socks
Discover the joy of knitting with our unisex toe-up sock pattern, expertly designed for comfort and style with intricate cable and texture details adorning the sides. To enhance the overall aesthetic, a unique textured panel is featured at the center back, giving these socks a sophisticated twist that appeals to all knitters.
These delightful socks are crafted from the toe-up using the magic loop technique, which allows for seamless knitting without the awkwardness of changing needle sizes. If you prefer, you can opt for double pointed needles to suit your own knitting style. The pattern includes a classic heel flap and gusset design, but feel free to substitute your favorite heel technique to personalize your project further. For those looking to streamline their knitting experience, you can easily knit them two at a time, ensuring that your projects are completed efficiently.
Sizes: The pattern accommodates a range of sizes - S (56 sts), M (64 sts), and L (72 sts) - making it versatile for different foot sizes and preferences.
Materials: You will need Garnstudio Drops Flora yarn (50 g/1.8 oz, 210 m/230 yds, 65% wool/35% alpaca): approximately 45 (50, 60) grams of this delightful fingering yarn. For knitting, use 2.5 mm US 1 80 cm (32”) or longer circular needles. Adjust the needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge. Additional tools include 5 stitch markers – 2 for the front textured pattern, 2 for the back ribbed panel, and 1 to mark the beginning of the round (BOR), along with a tapestry needle and scissors.
Gauge: To ensure your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 28 stitches and 40 rounds equals 10 cm (4”) in Stockinette Stitch.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this toe-up sock pattern is perfect for enhancing your knitting skills while creating a beautiful pair of socks that you'll cherish for years to come.
