If you're looking for a cozy and stylish project to keep your toes warm, these knit-and-purl stitch pattern socks are the perfect choice! The subtly nubby texture of the fabric not only adds charm but also creates a delightful tactile experience as you knit. Designed for intermediate knitters, this pattern combines techniques such as knitting, purling, short rows, and working in the round, making it an engaging project that results in comfortable, plush socks.

Made from a luxurious blend of 50% angora and 50% wool, these socks will provide exceptional warmth and softness, ideal for those chilly morning walks. Additionally, the yarn will felt slightly with wear, giving your finished socks a unique, personalized touch. With a finished foot circumference that spans from sizes 5¼ to 8 inches (13.5 to 20.5 cm), this pattern is versatile enough to fit a range of foot sizes—perfect for gifting!

To complete this project, you'll need 2 skeins of Classic Elite Yarns Lush (#4490), which unfortunately has been discontinued. However, you can easily substitute it with naturally soft alternatives like Naturally Sensation or Adriafil Carezza. For tools, grab a set of US #9 (5.5mm) double-pointed needles—be sure to adjust the needle size as needed to obtain the correct gauge. You'll also need 3 stitch markers and a yarn needle to finish your project beautifully.

Ensure your stitches come out just right by following the gauge of 24 stitches and 32 rounds per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. With this pattern, warm and stylish socks are just a few enjoyable knitting sessions away. Start your project today and treat yourself to the ultimate in cozy footwear!
