Houndstooth Check Socks

Discover the Timeless Elegance of Houndstooth: An Exquisite Knitting Pattern

**About the Design: ** The houndstooth motif is a fashion classic that never goes out of style! In this captivating design, I’ve skillfully combined both small and large versions of the houndstooth pattern into a vibrant composition. You can choose between two stunning colorways—light and airy springtime shades that evoke feelings of renewal or rich, earthy autumn tones that embrace the cozy, warm atmosphere of fall.

The construction details have been thoughtfully designed for both durability and beauty. The heel flap, heel turning, and toe shaping all feature a robust heel stitch pattern. This choice not only enhances the socks' longevity but also adds a touch of design cohesion, harmonizing various elements throughout the piece and creating a visually pleasing balance.

Materials Needed: For this project, we’re using Brown Sheep Nature Spun Worsted, a premium yarn made of 100% wool with 245 yards per 3.5 oz pull skein. You will need 1 skein of each contrasting color.

Spring Colorway: The delightful spring palette features: #730 Natural (MC), #N30 Nordic Blue (A), #N64 Platte River Blue (B), and #N80 Mtn. Purple (C).

Autumn Colorway: For a seasonal touch, the autumn palette includes: #114 Storm (MC), #101 Burnt Sienna (A), #N93 Latte (B), and #522 Nervous Green (C).

(**Important Note:** With just 2 skeins of MC and 1 skein each of **A, B**, and **C**, you can create 2 pairs of these stylish socks, making it a fantastic yarn investment.)

Finished Measurements: Once completed, each sock will measure Heel to Toe: 9.75", Floor to Cuff Top: 7", Foot Circumference: 9", and Leg Circumference: 9". These measurements ensure a comfortable fit suitable for a variety of foot sizes.

Whether you’re looking for a statement piece or a thoughtful gift, this houndstooth sock pattern is sure to impress. Happy Knitting from Dawn!
