Drunken Sailor Socks
“What shall we do with the drunken sailor, early in the morning?” Celebrate this timeless sea shanty with our nautical-themed socks, inspired by the classic song. These charming 'drunken sailor' socks feature a unique ‘drunken’ cable design intertwined with playful ‘rigging’ details running down the front, while the back showcases whimsical ‘whitecaps’ for a delightful maritime touch.
Designed for knitters at all skill levels, these cabled socks are constructed from the top down, featuring a traditional heel flap and gusset for a comfortable fit. Each sock is crafted with care, ensuring that the right and left socks are mirror images of each other, making them truly special. Our comprehensive pattern includes both written instructions and detailed charts for the intricate sections, ensuring an enjoyable knitting experience for everyone.
The sample shown is beautifully knit in Artesano Definition Sock Yarn, which provides a stunning presentation of the design. For those seeking alternatives, we recommend trying Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, Malabrigo Sock, or Rowan Super Fine Merino 4 Ply for their exceptional quality and vibrant colors.
