Lumberjack

Fall is my favorite season, and there's nothing quite like the cozy comfort it brings. Imagine donning your favorite sweaters and scarves, surrounded by vibrant pumpkins and colorful leaves, and the comforting glow of a fireplace warming your home. With this seasonal bliss in mind, I present to you the “Lumberjack” sock pattern – my imaginative tribute to fall, captured in the form of a beautifully crafted sock. These socks will not only keep your feet deliciously warm during brisk autumn outings, whether you’re gathering firewood or enjoying a stroll among the fall foliage, but also serve as a stylish accessory. The Lumberjack socks are knit from the top down and utilize three distinct colors. While you will only work with two colors at a time, the final touch of contrasting vertical lines (like the bold red in the sample) is elegantly added once you have completed knitting the sock. This fun technique creates a visually striking effect, making your finished socks as eye-catching as the autumn landscape. For this pattern, the recommended gauge is 9 stitches per inch and 9 rows per inch in pattern, achieved using 2.75 mm (US 2) needles, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. Materials Needed: - 200 meters (219 yards) of fingering weight yarn for the Main Color (MC). - 200 meters (219 yards) of fingering weight yarn for Color 1 (CC1). - 250 meters (273 yards) of fingering weight yarn for Color 2 (CC2). - 2.5 mm (US 1.5) double pointed or circular needles. - 2.75 mm (US 2) double pointed or circular needles. - Tapestry needle for finishing. - A crochet hook for adding the final details. Whether you are a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this Lumberjack sock pattern offers a rewarding project to add to your fall wardrobe. Embrace the spirit of autumn with your very own custom-made, cozy socks that are perfect for any chilly day. Get ready to enjoy the beauty of fall, one stitch at a time!
