Jardin à la Française Socks
Unleash your creativity and immerse yourself in the art of knitting with our stunning stranded colorwork socks that evoke the elegance of a French garden. This pattern is meticulously crafted with geometric designs and symmetrical motifs that celebrate artistry and visual harmony. Suitable for knitters at various skill levels, these socks are not only a functional accessory but also a beautiful showcase of intricate design and craftsmanship.
SIZE: S (M, L), designed to fit foot circumferences of 7½–8¼ (8¼–9, 9–9¾) inches / 19–21 (21–23, 23–25) cm. Whether you are creating these as a gift or for yourself, they are sure to become a beloved addition to your sock collection.
MATERIALS: To embark on this delightful project, gather your materials, including (Vi)laines Chaussettes, a high-quality yarn composed of 75% Superwash Wool and 25% Nylon, providing both comfort and durability. You will need a total of 1 skein of the Main Color (MC): Jeter des perles aux cochons (Casting pearls before swine) and 1 skein of the Contrast Color (CC): Sauter dans les fougères (Jumping in the ferns) for each size (S, M, L).
For the best results, use a US1.5/2.5 mm circular needle, 32-inch/80 cm, or adjust to achieve the required gauge. Don't forget your tapestry needle for weaving in those ends once your masterpiece is complete!
GAUGE: Achieve a precise gauge of 32 stitches x 44 rounds = 4 inches/10 cm in Stockinette stitch worked in the round after blocking. For the stranded colorwork pattern specifically, the gauge is 36 stitches x 43 rounds = 4 inches/10 cm, also after blocking. Accurate gauge is essential for the perfect fit and consistency in your finished socks.
