August Tweed

If you're looking for a delightful knitting project that combines elegance with a contemporary twist, these toe-up socks are the perfect choice! Featuring a charming lace pattern flanked by bold, eye-catching cables, this design elevates traditional sock knitting to a new level of style. One of the standout attributes of this pattern is its unique off-center arrangement on each sock, which adds an interesting visual element. The generous stockinette panel allows your chosen yarn to truly shine, making it a joy to wear these socks throughout the year, including the warmer summer months—hence the name "Summer Breeze Socks."

Pattern Details: The sophisticated cable and lace panel runs seamlessly from the toe all the way to the cuff of the sock, ensuring an uninterrupted flow of intricate design. As the leg of the sock takes shape, a small additional cable detail is introduced on the interior leg, providing an extra layer of interest. Once you've finished the sock body, the heel is completed, allowing for a snug yet comfortable fit. For the best aesthetic, it's recommended that these socks are worn with some negative ease to help open up the delicate lacework and showcase your knitting skills.

Sizes Available: This pattern is tailored for women and comes in three sizes: Women's Narrow (7”), Women's Medium (8”), and Women's Wide (9”) circumference, making it versatile for various foot shapes.

Suggested Yarn: For this project, we recommend using "Phoenix Fiber Co Tweedy Pie Sock" in the beautiful "Retrospect" colorway. This yarn not only enhances the intricate patterns but also offers warmth and comfort.

Recommended Needle Size: To achieve the best results, use Size 1 (2.25mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a single long circular needle. This will ensure that your stitches are worked evenly and your patterns are displayed beautifully.
