Cats of Cyprys Socks
Hand-Knitted Sock Pattern
Size Range: EU 36-41 / US 6-10 / UK 4-8. This versatile sock pattern accommodates various foot sizes, making it perfect for gifting or personal use.
Recommended Needles: Use 2-2.5 mm needles (0-1.5 US), or the size required to achieve the specified gauge. The sample socks were beautifully knitted using smaller needles for ribbing, a striped stockinette stitch design, and seamless toes, enhancing both comfort and style.
Yarn Suggestions: Opt for any fingering weight sock yarn, approximately 400 meters per 100 grams. In our sample, we utilized the stunning Filcolana Arwetta in Dark Chocolate (975) and Natural White (101), alongside Hip Hei sock yarn in the vibrant Maledives color. This combination creates a beautifully eye-catching result.
Yarn Requirements for Size EU 38 / US 7.5 / UK 5.5: For this size, you will need approximately 25g of Color A, 25g of Color B, and 32g of Color C. This careful crafting of colors ensures a striking pattern that stands out.
Gauge Information: Achieving the right gauge is crucial for perfect-fitting socks. For colored knitting, aim for 17 stitches to equal 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) when using a 2 mm needle (0 US). For the stockinette stitch portion, the gauge should be 15 stitches for 5 cm (approximately 2 inches) with a 2.5 mm needle (1.5 US).
Follow this pattern to create beautiful, custom-fit socks that are not only functional but also a testament to your knitting skills. Get ready to enjoy the satisfaction of wearing your handmade creations, or prepare thoughtful gifts for friends and family. Happy knitting!
