Dune Grass Socks

Welcome to our latest sock knitting pattern, inspired by the serene Dunes in Bouctouche! We’ve brought the beauty of the beach right to your knitting needles with this delightful design. With its stunning boardwalk stretching 800 metres long, the Dunes not only boasts a breathtaking beach but also protects its fragile dunes and grasses beneath, serving as the perfect muse for our unique sock.

This sock pattern is available in three versatile sizes, expertly crafted from the toe up using my signature rounded toe design. Each sock features a thoughtfully constructed gusset, a German short row heel turn, and a slip stitch heel flap that together create a fantastic fit for all foot shapes. The pattern also includes an easy-to-calculate measurement guide to ensure that you start your gusset in just the right spot, making the knitting experience seamless. For those who appreciate visual learning, we've included video tutorials that support you step-by-step through the sock construction process.

What makes this sock truly special are the fun columns of knit stitches utilizing a tuck stitch to create whimsical “seed heads” that mimic the delicate blades of grass found at the beach. A dedicated video tutorial showcases this stitch combination, which is not only quick to memorize but also incredibly enjoyable to knit, adding a touch of creativity to your project.

This pattern looks fantastic with a variety of yarn types, so feel free to experiment with your favorite colors and textures! We recommend using just one skein of fingering weight yarn to complete this beautiful sock. Don’t forget to check out our testers’ project pages for additional inspiration and creative takes on this pattern. Embrace the joy of knitting while capturing the essence of the beach in every stitch!
