Cloudin

Introducing the Cloudin Socks – a visually stunning and exquisite addition to your knitting repertoire! These stylish socks are expertly knitted using an intricate Shetland lace pattern on a tight gauge, resulting in a beautifully crafted everyday sock that you’ll love to wear and showcase. The Cloudin Socks are knitted from the top down, featuring a traditional heel flap, a comfortable gusset, and a uniquely shaped toe for a perfect fit.

Inspired by the delicate lace pattern found on Johnson in The Vintage Shetland Project, the Cloudin Socks reflect the rich heritage and timeless beauty of Shetland knitting. The name "Cloudin" pays homage to a charming two-storey farmhouse located on the picturesque island of Vaila, nestled off the west coast of Shetland, adding a touch of nature-inspired warmth to your knitting journey.

The sample pair was knit using Susan Crawford Vintage Bluem Sock yarn, a premium blend comprising 75% Bluefaced Leicester wool and 25% nylon, ensuring both softness and durability. This luxurious yarn choice not only enhances the visual appeal of the lace pattern but also provides excellent wearability, making these socks an ideal everyday accessory.

What’s more, the pattern includes detailed instructions presented in both written and charted formats for the lace sections, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can follow along with ease. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, the Cloudin Socks will challenge and delight you!
