Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

Discover our unique top-down, colorwork sock pattern, designed for both novice and experienced knitters! This versatile pattern features a heel flap and gussets, ensuring a comfortable and well-fitted sock. Available in two sizes—72 stitches and 80 stitches—this pattern offers the flexibility to customize sizing based on your preferred yarn and needle choice. To achieve the perfect fit, simply divide the number of stitches in your sock by the circumference of your ankle or foot to determine the gauge you need for an ideal fit.

• At 9 stitches per inch (spi), the medium sock will measure 8" in circumference, while the large will be just under 9".
• At 8 stitches per inch (spi), the medium size will fit a circumference of 9", and the large will stretch to 10".

For this stunning sock project, you will require two contrasting yarn colors. Typically, about 70-80 grams of the main color (MC) should suffice, along with 50-60 grams of the contrast color (CC). Keep in mind that these yarn amounts may vary depending on your chosen size, as well as the specific lengths of the leg and foot for your socks. When selecting your CC, consider using a variegated yarn; however, it’s essential that it does not contain any colors that match your MC for the best visual contrast. To enhance your knitting experience, we will provide two sets of color charts—one tailored for a light main color and another for those using a dark main color.

This pattern is perfect for those looking to elevate their sock-making skills, and we invite you to enjoy the fun and creativity of colorwork while crafting your own custom socks. Start your knitting journey today with our free and paid patterns, and keep your feet stylishly warm!
