Hideaway Socks
Escape to your favorite hideaway and indulge in comfort with these ultra-cushy, super-cozy socks! Designed for both men and women, this unisex sock pattern is skillfully crafted top-down, offering flexibility for knitters. The pattern is initially written for the double pointed needle (DPN) method, but you can easily opt for the Magic Loop method if you prefer—it's entirely your choice! Note: To modify the sock's fit, you can adjust the increases in the pattern. Pulling the increases "tighter" will yield a more closed fabric with added stretch, while leaving them "looser" will create a more lacier finish with less elasticity. If you want a snugger fit, make your size closest to your actual foot size; for a cozier and more relaxed fit, simply opt for the next size up!
Materials
This pattern uses fingering-weight yarn, requiring a total of 300 (335, 375) yards / 275 [310, 345] meters. The Size Large sample was expertly knit using Fiberphile MCN Luxe Sock yarn (80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, 10% nylon); this luxurious yarn boasts 375 yards [343 meters] per 115 grams [4 ounces] in the delightful “Sakura” colorway. You'll need just 1 skein to complete your cozy socks!
For this project, gather your US 2 (2.5 mm) double pointed needles (or equivalent size needed to achieve gauge) and a yarn needle for finishing touches.
Gauge
Ensure your project turns out perfectly by achieving a gauge of 32 stitches and 40 rows equaling 4 inches [10 cm] in pattern, after blocking.
Whether you are gifting these cozy creations or treating yourself, this knitting pattern is the perfect way to enjoy a tranquil escape while creating beautiful, functional sockwear. With their soft texture and stylish design, these socks will become an essential addition to your knitted wardrobe!
