Drummossie

Introducing the Drummossie socks – a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the rich colors of Trekking XXL yarn and the traditional clan tartans of the Highlanders. This unique design combines entrelac knitting techniques to create visually striking socks that can reflect either subtle tonal effects or vibrant, eye-catching hues, depending on your chosen colorway. Perfect for knitters looking to elevate their skills, the Drummossie pattern guides you through each step in detail.

These socks are worked in pieces, starting with the toe construction. From there, the instep is knitted straight, while extra stitches are provisionally cast on at the ankle for later stages of the leg and cuff. After completing the leg portion, you will return to the heel—picking up from the provisional cast-on to knit the heel flap. After successfully turning the heel and picking up the necessary gusset stitches, you will knit the sole flat, which is then attached to the instep at both sides. Once your sole reaches the desired length, you will graft the sole stitches to the remaining toe stitches, completing this beautiful project.

Skills required for this pattern include entrelac knitting, provisional casting on, picking up stitches, and creating new stitches. If you’ve been eager to learn or refine these techniques, the Drummossie socks offer a fantastic opportunity.

The specified gauge for the Drummossie socks is 36 stitches and 48 rows over a 4-inch (10 cm) swatch in stockinette stitch, ensuring a perfect fit. Whether you are knitting for yourself or a loved one, these socks are not only functional but also a true work of art.
