Dad Jokes

If you’re a fan of groaning at Dad jokes, you’re not alone! My 11-year-old has picked up the habit of telling these pun-filled quips, bringing a sense of pride to my husband, much like these charming socks will bring to knitters. These socks feature a classic diamond pattern that harkens back to the timeless appeal of argyle, making them the perfect project for anyone who appreciates a good laugh or has a friend like Bill, who is renowned for his collection of the world’s worst Dad jokes!

**Finished Size:** S (M, L) [6” (7.5”, 9” around), unstretched] — these socks will fit snugly on any feet!

**Yarn:** For this delightful project, use Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock, which is made from 100% Superwash Merino wool, with a generous 400 yards per 4-ounce skein. (The sample is knit in the lovely shade of Thomas Circle.)

**Needles:** You’ll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles, size 2 US (2.75 mm), or choose a size that allows you to obtain the correct gauge for this pattern.

**Gauge:** To ensure your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette, knitted in the round. This will create a snug yet comfortable sock that will delight both the wearer and the knitter.

Try your hand at these Dad-like socks that combine humor and style, perfect for gift-giving or personal use. Dive into this fun knitting adventure today, and enjoy the joy of crafting these delightful socks that make a great conversation starter!
