Don't bite me

Introducing the delightful Don’t Bite Me sock pattern, a perfect project for knitters looking to showcase luxurious yarn color and luster. These finished socks aren't just stylish—they're incredibly warm thanks to the double-stranded knitting technique and the plush softness of the materials used, making them a favorite for cozy feet during chilly seasons. The pattern provides clear instructions for two sizes: Medium and Large, designed to fit foot circumferences of 22.5 cm (9 inches) and 25 cm (10 inches), respectively. The length from toe to heel measures 21.5 cm (8.5 inches) for Medium and 25.5 cm (10 inches) for Large, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. For this project, you'll need just 1 skein of Cascade Heritage Sock Yarn in color number 5657, a rich Hunter Green, and 1 skein of Cascade Heritage Hand Painted Sock Yarn in color number 9906, Wild Honey, or a similar variegated yarn of your choice. The combination of these two beautiful yarns adds depth and visual interest, highlighting the intricate stitch patterns as you knit. To achieve your best results, use 5 Double Pointed Needles in size 2 mm (US 0). The special double stranded, doubled tail long-tail cast-on method enhances the elasticity of the sock's edge, ensuring a comfortable fit around your ankle. Additionally, the innovative special wandering jog technique eliminates any visible jogs in your pattern, maintaining a clean and polished look. Each stitch on the chart is clearly marked, allowing you to effortlessly follow the pattern as it transitions from stitch to stitch. The starting stitch of the houndstooth pattern moves around the foot, mimicking the classic stripe of a barber pole, adding both flair and fun to your knitting experience. Knit your way to warmth and style with the Don’t Bite Me sock pattern, making it a fantastic addition to your free and paid knitting patterns collection! Whether you gift them or keep them for yourself, these socks are sure to be a cherished creation.
