Graphite Socks

Discover the beauty of the slipped stitch pattern in this gorgeous sock design! After falling in love with this unique honeycomb lattice texture during my swatch for level 3 of the prestigious Master Hand Knitter program, I knew it would be the perfect choice for crafting a stunning pair of socks. The intricate colors and the design remind me of the fascinating chemical structure of graphite layers, making these socks not only stylish but also a conversation starter!

This delightful knitted sock pattern features a slipped stitch technique, allowing you to work with just one color per row. This means the resulting design appears far more complicated than it truly is—a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels who want to elevate their sock-making game! You’ll find the process enjoyable and rewarding as you create something that looks intricate with simplicity in mind.

These socks are constructed from the toe up, featuring a comfortable round toe and an innovative afterthought heel for added convenience and fit. With a gauge of 34 stitches and 51 rows equating to 4 inches in Stockinette stitch, and 40 stitches and 72 rows measuring 4 inches in the Thorn pattern, this design is tailored to fit a foot circumference of 8 inches.

For this project, you will need two vibrant colors of fingering weight yarn to bring the honeycomb effect to life. Don’t worry if you’re new to knitting socks or need a refresher—the pattern includes both charts and detailed written directions to ensure your success. There's no need to feel overwhelmed; you'll find links to helpful video tutorials for techniques like afterthought heels and Judy’s Magic Cast On available online at www.knitsbyheather.com.
