Blackbird Socks
Unleash your creativity and warmth with our enchanting sock pattern, inspired by a child's whimsical love for all things spooky and pretty. These delightful socks are designed in two vibrant colorways, reflecting their contrasting moods—perfect for anyone looking to express their individuality through knitting. With only basic Fair Isle techniques required, this pattern is accessible for knitters of all skill levels.
We’ve utilized the beautiful Design Line yarns by Kaffe Fassett in this pattern; however, please note that these specific yarns are now discontinued. To make your yarn shopping easier, we’ve provided images of the original yarns, which can help your local yarn store suggest suitable alternatives. The yarns we’ve included in the examples are merely suggestions and have not undergone a swatching test, so make sure to select a self-striping yarn that showcases the main solid shade—navy for the Blackbirds and an unbleached linen hue for Doves. Additionally, be sure to double-check that your self-striping choice complements the second solid contrast color to avoid any clashes.
The pattern offers a variety of sizes to suit different foot shapes, with actual ankle circumferences measuring 18[20:22:24]cm (7[8:8.5:9.5]in) and foot circumferences of 17[19:20.5:22.5]cm. Leg lengths are adjustable, available in lengths of 21[22:22:23] cm, while the foot length also remains adjustable, ranging from 19[20:20:21] cm. This means you can create the perfect fit for your loved ones or indulge yourself with custom-made cozy socks.
Whether you're using leftover yarn from previous projects or investing in new materials, our socks are a fantastic way to explore your artistic side while keeping your feet snug. Begin your knitting adventure today with this charming sock pattern, and enjoy the process of bringing these magical designs to life!
