Eomer Socks

Introducing a beautifully crafted top-down textured sock inspired by the beloved character Eomer of Rohan from Tolkien’s epic world. This knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate-level knitters seeking a creative challenge.

The design features a classic top-down construction method, incorporating a traditional heel flap, short-row heel turn, and a comfortable wedge toe. This pattern stands out with its intricate cabling, vibrant textured stitches, and extensive charts. Aspiring knitters should be comfortable reading knitting charts, as all symbols are distinctly defined for ease of use.

To embark on this knitting adventure, you will need: one set of US1 (2.25mm) sock needles (you can choose between double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method), a good-quality cable needle or the skills to cable up to 7 stitches without using a needle, and essential basic knitting tools such as a tape measure and scissors.

When selecting yarn, it's important to note that the intricate cables in this sock require a bit more yardage than standard patterns. We recommend having between 375-400 yards (340-370 m) of high-quality fingering weight yarn on hand to complete this stunning project.

This pattern is available in two sizes, each with an individual set of charts for easy navigation. The ankle circumference measurements are 7.5 inches (19 cms) and 9.5 inches (24 cms). Calf and foot length are adjustable, allowing for a personalized fit that suits your style and comfort level.

We extend heartfelt thanks to my amazing testers: Lise, Pi4, Dayana, Knitsnscraps, and Anneh. Your invaluable feedback and support have been essential in bringing this pattern to life; you are truly appreciated!

Whether you’re knitting these socks as a gift or for yourself, you'll enjoy the process of creating this delightful Eomer-inspired project. Dive into your stash and start your journey into the beautiful world of Tolkien-inspired knitting today!
