Frinton Beach
Discover the charm of coastal knitting with these beautifully designed socks inspired by a visit to Frinton-on-Sea in Essex, located in the picturesque south of England. During my visit, the beach was adorned with an abundance of seaweed washed ashore, which sparked the creative vision behind this unique knitting pattern. The intricate seaweed ribbing on the feet and legs of the socks elegantly reflects the natural tangle of seaweed found along the beach. Meanwhile, the front of the sock legs showcases a captivating design that mimics the strands of dried seaweed basking in the warm sun.
These delightful socks are expertly crafted using a toe-up construction, featuring a Boomerang short-row heel that employs German short rows for a perfect fit. Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to expand your skills, a comprehensive photo tutorial for this technique is included in the pattern, guiding you step-by-step.
This vibrant sock pattern is available in three sizes, designed to fit various foot circumferences. The tension is set at 8.5 stitches per inch over stocking stitch, and it requires a pair of 2.25mm (US 1) needles. Available sizes are: Small (Medium, Large) which correspond to foot circumferences of 7.5”/19cm, (8.5”/21.5cm, 9.5”/24cm) ensuring an ideal fit for everyone.
For avid knitters, both stitch patterns—the detailed seaweed rib and the eye-catching design on the front of the sock leg—are conveniently charted, allowing for easy navigation as you bring this pattern to life. To successfully complete these socks, you will need to be adept at working an appropriate cast-on method specifically designed for toe-up sock construction.
