Get closer socks
Introducing the Get Closer Socks, a delightful and intricate knitted pattern designed for the modern knitter who loves unique textures. These socks are crafted cuff-down, featuring a beautiful combination of knit and purl techniques that mimic the spine of a leaf, providing both a visually appealing and tactile experience. The charming texture extends seamlessly onto the heel flap and toe, ensuring that every aspect of these socks showcases artistry, while the bottom of the foot remains smooth and comfortable with a classic stockinette stitch.
The Get Closer Socks come in three adult sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), with finished measurements as follows: Cuff circumferences of 7.5 (8, 9) inches or 19 (20, 23) cm around, and adjustable foot lengths measuring 9 (10, 11.25) inches or 23 (25, 28.5) cm. This adaptable sizing allows for a snug yet comfortable fit, making them perfect for gift-giving or personal wear.
This pattern calls for fingering weight yarn with a recommended amount of 400 meters in a 100 g skein, such as Drops Fabel in Color 114. You'll need approximately 276 (311, 383) yards or 252 (284, 350) meters, and the corresponding weights are 63 (71, 88) grams. Please note that yardage may vary depending on your gauge and yarn choice, so it's always good to have a little extra yarn on hand.
For the best results, use US #1 / 2.25mm double-pointed needles (DPNs) or a circular needle for magic loop knitting, or adjust as necessary to ensure you meet the gauge. Achieve a gauge of 32 stitches and 42 rounds to 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch when worked in the round on US #1 (2.25 mm) needles, after blocking. This precise gauge is essential for ensuring your socks fit perfectly.
Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting, the Get Closer Socks pattern is designed to enhance your skills while providing a satisfying and stylish knit.
