Kaye
Introducing Kaye’s unique sock pattern, expertly crafted to be worked in one seamless piece from the cuff down to the fashionable wedge toe. This design features a folded cuff that not only enhances the style but also ensures a snug fit. Incorporating a shop-bought-like German short row heel, the socks are both comfortable and chic. To prevent the socks from slipping down, the inside section of the folded cuff is intentionally narrower than the outside, offering the perfect balance of snugness and comfort.
These socks are graded to accommodate three different foot circumferences, making them an ideal choice for a variety of sizes. Plus, the adjustable foot lengths provide flexibility for any wearer! Whether you’re knitting for yourself or creating a thoughtful gift for a loved one, these socks are sure to impress. Enjoy the process of transforming yarn into cozy footwear!
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 36 stitches and 48 rounds over Stocking stitch for a measurement of 10 cm / 4”. Alternatively, for those who prefer a textured look, work at 36 stitches and 64 rounds over the Sandwich pattern for the same gauge swatch. Use size 2.5 mm / US 1.5 needles for optimal results while knitting in the round.
Techniques Used: Expand your knitting skills with the techniques included in this pattern. Master the Provisional Cast-On using a needle and hook, and dive into the Magic Loop circular knitting technique. You will also practice essential stitches such as knit, purl, and slip stitch with yarn in back. The pattern incorporates increases (M1L) and decreases (k2tog, ssk) to shape your socks beautifully. Additionally, the German short rows (make and work double stitch) offer a professional finish, and you will complete your project with the elegant and seamless Kitchener stitch.
Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, Kaye's socks combine modern design with timeless comfort. Start your knitting journey today and make a pair of these delightful, custom-fit socks that will surely become a beloved staple in your wardrobe!
