This delightful Fluffy Nanook Socks pattern comes complete with a detailed chart for the color work design, making it easy for knitters to follow along and achieve impressive results.
Sizes: Available in Adult Small/Medium and Large, the socks are designed to fit approximately Women’s Small/Medium (or Women’s Large) feet, catering to a foot circumference of 8.25” (21 cm) for the smaller size and 9” (22.5 cm) for the larger size.
Needles: The pattern requires 2.25 mm / US 1 and 2.75 mm / US 1 1/2 needles, or any size necessary to achieve the correct gauge. While the sample was knit using the magic loop technique, you are welcome to use any knitting method you prefer to create your beautiful socks.
Yarn: You will need 100g of fingering weight yarn for the main color and an additional 20g of fingering weight yarn for the contrasting color. For the sample, we used the stunning Akara Yarn sock kit in Navy, made from an 80% Merino Wool and 20% Nylon blend, offering a total of 400 yards, paired with a 20g mini skein of Silver Lining for that perfect contrast.
Gauge (unblocked): Achieve a gauge of 34 stitches per 10 cm (4 inches) in stockinette stitch when using the smaller needles, ensuring your socks fit beautifully.
Notions: Don't forget to gather your wool needle, as it will be essential for weaving in ends and finishing your socks nicely.
Techniques to Explore: This pattern is an excellent opportunity to explore the use of color work in socks, as well as mastering the knitting of a heel flap and gusset. These techniques will enhance your skills and inspire creativity in your knitting journey.
Quality Assurance: You can knit confidently knowing this pattern has been thoroughly tech edited and test knit, ensuring that you have a seamless knitting experience from start to finish.
