Bartlett Pear Socks Fingering

Isn’t it awful that cold feet can lead to a cold imagination? Luckily, a cozy pair of woolen socks can spark joy and creativity! ~ Franz Grillparzer, Austrian writer and dramatist

Discover the brightest tweed yarn you can find and cast on to create your very own cheerful socks. Your feet will thank you, and your day is sure to be brighter with these delightful handmade creations!

PATTERN NOTES: This collection of knitting patterns is designed for both DK (Double Knitting) and Fingering weight yarns, catering to various preferences and styles. These fabulous sock patterns feature a ‘top-down’ construction, meaning you start at the cuff and work your way down, knitting in the round on double-pointed or circular needles. The unique Dutch heel flap is constructed by working back and forth in rows before turning the heel, ensuring a snug fit. Once the heel is turned, stitches are picked up along the heel flap, and the work is seamlessly joined in the round for a smooth finish, while gusset stitches are cleverly decreased for a perfect fit.

Each sock in this collection is designed to be a mirror image of the other, with the diagonal line crossing in opposite directions, creating an intriguing visual effect. Whether you are an experienced knitter looking for a new challenge or a beginner eager to try your hand at sock knitting, this pattern offers joy and creativity in every stitch. So grab your bright tweed yarn, cozy up by the fire, and knit socks that will not only keep your feet warm but also brighten your day!
