Fir socks

Fir is an adorable and cozy sock knitting pattern that draws inspiration from the beauty of nature, particularly the elegance of pine trees. This delightful design features a captivating stitch pattern that is accomplished using slipped stitches, a technique I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring this year! The Fir sock pattern is not only easy to execute but also consists of a repeat section that makes for an enjoyable and relaxing knitting experience, perfect for both beginner and experienced knitters alike.

Yarn: For this charming sock pattern, I recommend using A Homespun House's Soft Sock yarn, which consists of 437 yards (400 meters) of soft and stretchy bliss made from 75% wool and 25% nylon. This yarn blend provides the perfect combination of warmth, durability, and comfort, making it ideal for cozy knitted socks.

Needles: To create these delightful socks, you will need US1 (2.25mm) needles, which can be either circular or double-pointed (DPNs). This size ensures that your stitches are snug and form a beautiful, even fabric.

Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 0.59” (1.5cm) for each slipped stitch repeat, with a total of 8.5 stitches and 14 rows equaling 1” (2.5cm). Proper gauge is essential for ensuring your socks fit perfectly!

Sizes: The Fir sock pattern is available in two sizes: 1 (56 stitches) and 2 (64 stitches), accommodating a variety of foot sizes for the perfect fit.

Exciting news: the Fir sock pattern will be released on the 21st of December! Mark your calendars and get ready to bring a touch of nature and warmth to your knitting collection with these charming socks.

Don't miss the chance to add this delightful pattern to your library, whether you're looking for a relaxing knit or a thoughtful handmade gift for someone special. Happy knitting!
