Koskiset

PATTERN UPDATED: Now available in 3 size options for men!

This unique sock knitting pattern, titled “Koskiset,” was originally inspired by my spouse. The word “Koski” means rapids in Finnish, while “Koskinen” is a widely recognized Finnish surname. The playful name “Koskiset” can be interpreted as “Rapidsons,” adding a personal touch to this design.

The stitch pattern in these socks beautifully mimics the dynamic flow of rapids, transitioning from wild torrents to serene, narrow gorges and gently worn rocks. Each stitch embodies a rhythm that makes the knitting process both relaxing and enjoyable. The designs incorporate simple and timeless stitch patterns, making them accessible to knitters of all skill levels. For many in the knitting community, these techniques may already be familiar.

In particular, the sections featuring stranded knitting are welcoming for beginners, with short yarn floats that are easy to manage. This pattern offers a fantastic opportunity for knitters to dive into their yarn stash and create something beautiful and functional.

Rest assured, this pattern has been meticulously tech edited and tested to ensure clarity, accuracy, and consistency, providing you with a seamless knitting experience—whether you're making these socks for yourself or as a thoughtful gift.

Enjoy the process and embrace the spirit of the rapids with the Koskiset sock pattern—your perfect project awaits!
