Arrowhead
Arrowhead is a delightful knitting pattern that introduces a beautiful and simple arrowhead texture stitch, perfect for adding uniqueness to your favorite sock designs. The charming arrowhead texture elegantly wraps around the leg of the sock and continues seamlessly down the top of the foot, making these socks a joy to wear and showcase. Arrowhead features a cleverly constructed slipped-stitch gusseted heel, allowing you to substitute your preferred heel style if desired, and a rounded toe, both crafted in a contrasting color for a stylish pop.
This sock knitting pattern is primarily written for the Magic Loop method, offering versatility for knitters who prefer using double-pointed needles or other sock-knitting techniques. Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern provides a wonderful opportunity to enhance your skills and create stunning handmade socks.
To craft your very own pair of Arrowhead socks, you'll need approximately 350 yards (400m) of fingering weight yarn for the main color, along with an optional contrasting color for the heels and toes. The stunning sample was made using Mint Rain Yarns Soft Sock in a vibrant Bubblegum hue with a lovely cream contrast, showcasing the charming texture and colors beautifully.
The Arrowhead pattern is available in Women’s sizes small, medium, and large, with leg stitch counts of 56 (medium), 64 (large), and 72 stitches, accommodating a range of preferences and fits. To bring your socks to life, you'll need US 1 (2.25mm) 40" (100cm) circular needles for the Magic Loop method or any sock needles you prefer.
For optimal results, aim for a gauge of 32 stitches and 40 rows to measure 10 cm/4 inches. Don't forget to have additional tools ready, including a blunt tapestry needle for weaving in ends and stitch markers to help keep track of your pattern.
