Easter Grass
Memories of Easter holidays past evoke vibrant day-glo colours from the 1970s, alongside the nostalgic plastic Easter baskets, grass, and eggs that were a hallmark of the 1980s. These memories are often filled with super sugary goodies and delightful treats. The cherished tradition of donning your “Easter best” clothes—complete with little lacy Sunday school ankle socks and the ever-popular Mary Jane style shoes—adds a layer of joy to the holiday.
Introducing the **Easter Grass** socks, a sweet pair of ankle socks designed to be worked from the toe up featuring a shadow wrap heel. This delightful pattern incorporates an easy lace and twist design that allows for a quick and enjoyable knitting experience, making it the perfect project to complete during the Easter holidays. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just getting started, these socks will bring a touch of seasonal charm to your knitting basket.
YARN: For this project, use **Mothy and the Squid 4ply Sock Weight** yarn (75% Merino, 25% nylon; 459 yds / 420 m per 100 g skein). The pattern is elegantly showcased in the beautiful colourway, Rosy Maple Moth.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: You will need US 1 / 2.25 mm needles in your preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round, a stitch marker, and a tapestry needle to help with finishing touches.
GAUGE: Achieve a gauge of 32 sts / 48 rnds = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch to ensure the perfect fit.
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: These adorable socks come in foot circumferences of 6(7, 8, 9, 10) inches / 15(18, 20.5, 23, 25.5) cm. Length is customizable for both the leg and foot, allowing you to create a sock that fits just right for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.
The sample shown is in the “M” size and used less than half a skein. This makes it a great project for using up leftover yarn while creating something special for Easter celebrations.
