Deaton socks

As I was driving across the scenic Cedar River a few months ago, I noticed the bridge proudly named the Deaton Memorial Bridge. Instantly, my design-focused mind filed this as an excellent name for a uni-sex sock. This design is perfect for anyone seeking a sock that balances beauty for women while retaining a classic, sturdy look that can be appreciated by men. The key to achieving this lies in the choice of yarn and the overall pattern structure. The unique garter-cable rib adds an elegant touch of texture, enabling intricate cable designs without consuming excessive yarn. As for the details that make a difference, you'll find that the garter-cable rib runs gracefully down the back of the heel, while a charming faux seam enhances the toe’s design.

These versatile socks come in two sizes: small/medium and medium/large. The stitch counts for the size small/medium are provided first, with the medium/large sizes indicated in parentheses. Notably, the medium/large size is suitable for comfortably fitting a woman’s size 10 (US) wide foot.

Specifically written for the vibrant Jitterbug yarn, this pattern is designed to be created with just one skein. However, if larger socks are desired or if the gauge differs, you may require up to 2 skeins of Jitterbug yarn. The Deaton Memorial Socks tend to showcase their beauty best in lighter colors and less intricate yarn patterns, but ultimately, it’s all about choosing what you love and enjoy working with! The pattern is crafted to be worked cuff-down using magic loop needles, making it an enjoyable project for knitters of various skill levels.
