Homely socks
These stylish and cozy socks are expertly crafted in the round, beginning from the cuff and finishing at the toe. This detailed pattern features an easy-to-follow written description along with clear charts to guide you through each step. Perfect for knitters looking to enhance their sock-making skills, this design combines both functionality and elegance.
Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 32 stitches and 36 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking. This precise gauge is essential for ensuring a perfect fit for your socks.
Yarn: The project requires just one skein of Lana Grossa MEILENWEIT Tweed, which boasts 420 meters (459 yards) per 100 grams. This fingering weight yarn is composed of 80% Virgin wool and 20% Polyamide, making it both soft and durable, ideal for creating comfortable and long-lasting socks.
Notions: Gather your materials, including circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPN) sized US 2.0 (2.75 mm), scissors, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for finishing touches on your project.
Techniques Used: This pattern incorporates a variety of knitting techniques, including the Long-tail cast-on method, working in the round, knitting and purling, colorwork knitting, as well as increasing and decreasing stitches. You will also master the Kitchener stitch for a seamless toe closure, making it a great learning experience for knitters of all levels.
