Genia
Introducing Genia, my exceptional sample knitter! She’s not only cheerful and meticulous about every detail, but also absolutely delightful to work with. It's high time she had her own unique knitting pattern. These gorgeous socks feature beautifully mirrored cable panels, showcasing Genia's outstanding skills, surrounded by a soothing expanse of simple stockinette stitch.
Finished Size: Available in S (M, L), with measurements of 7” (8”, 9” around), unstretched, making them ideal for a variety of foot sizes.
Yarn: For this pattern, we recommend using the fabulous Neighborhood Fiber Co. Studio Sock yarn, crafted from 100% Superwash Merino. Each skein contains 400 yards in a 4-ounce package (the sample was beautifully knit in the colorway Lauraville).
Needles: To create these stunning socks, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 2 US (2.75 mm). Alternatively, you can choose a different needle size that helps you achieve the perfect gauge, as each knitter's tension can vary!
Gauge: To ensure a perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch, knitted in the round. This will provide you with a lovely, snug fabric that showcases the intricate cabling.
With its elegant design and intricate cable work, this sock pattern is perfect for knitters looking to refine their skills. Whether you're creating a special gift or treating yourself, these socks offer both beauty and comfort. Join Genia on this knitting journey and enjoy the process of crafting your own pair of stunning, hand-knit socks!
