Anjou Pear Socks DK
Bright socks are not just a wardrobe staple; they're a statement piece. As English actor Matt Smith aptly puts it, they're bold and full of personality. If you're a fan of vibrant sock designs, you're in the right place!
Several years ago, a delightful trend emerged with more tweed yarn being showcased by Indie Dyers at knitting shows across the U.S. However, finding bright colored tweed was a rare gem until I stumbled upon a stunning selection at Rhinebeck. Inspired, I purchased several vibrant hues, and over the years, I've dived deep into the world of DK Tweed yarns. This newfound passion led me to design these unique socks in collaboration with Dianne of Suburban Stitcher Yarns. To make the collection even more enticing, I've included designs for fingering weight socks as well!
This special collection is named the "Pears of Socks Collection." Just as the different shades of tweed remind me of the lovely colors found in various pears, I couldn't resist incorporating a delightful wordplay, appealing to my background as a former English teacher. Now is the perfect time to grab some bright colored tweed yarn, so you can cast on these remarkable sock patterns!
Pattern notes: This collection includes detailed patterns suitable for both DK and Fingering weight yarns. Each design features 'top-down' construction, starting at the cuff and worked in the round using either double-pointed or circular needles for a seamless finish. With easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll be on your way to knitting beautiful, colorful socks that not only keep your feet warm but also showcase your personality. Don’t miss the chance to create your own vibrant pair!
