Clematis
Introducing the delightful Clematis Socks, a lightweight knitting pattern that draws inspiration from the delicate beauty of clematis blossoms. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, these enchanting socks are crafted from the cuff down and feature a classic heel flap and gusset construction. The design includes a textured stitch pattern that embellishes the cuff, adding a charming touch that is both beautiful and interesting to work on.
The Clematis Socks are available in two sizes: SIZE 1 (2) S (M/L), making them versatile enough to fit various foot circumferences. The finished measurements include a foot circumference of 7 (8.5)” [18 (21.5)cm] and an adjustable leg length of 3” [7.5cm], ensuring a snug fit that brings comfort and style to every step.
For this knitting project, you'll need approximately 200-400 yards (183-366 meters) of light fingering weight yarn. Our sample pair is shown in the exquisite Life in the Long Grass Fine Sock yarn, which comprises 75% Merino and 25% Nylon, offering a luxurious feel and durability (465 yards / 425 meters, 100 grams). You'll only need 1 skein in the stunning color Crush to create your own pair of Clematis Socks.
Don't forget your essential notions, including a tapestry needle, two stitch markers, and a cable needle to help you navigate this pattern efficiently.
To achieve the best results, be sure to check your gauge; the correct measurement is 34 sts and 46 rnds = 4”/ 10cm in stocking stitch in the round, using US 1 / 2.25mm knitting needles.
This pattern requires some key skills, including decreasing, the German twisted cast-on technique, Kitchener stitch, and wrapped stitches. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, the Clematis Socks will provide an engaging and rewarding knitting experience.
