Mamsell

Are you looking for a fun and vibrant knitting project? Look no further! This bright orange sock pattern, inspired by the beautiful waterways of Berlin, is perfect for knitters who want to add some flair to their sock collection. My friend Stefanie specifically requested these cheerful bright orange socks for her birthday, and I had the pleasure of designing them with a touch of creativity, incorporating unique small cable patterns that are both stylish and functional.

The socks feature a clever gusset increase, artfully integrated into the top of the foot, using the eye-catching cable design. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also improves the fit. One of the best parts about knitting these socks is how intuitive the cable design is; I even managed to work on them while taking lovely strolls along the picturesque waterways in Berlin. Talk about multitasking!

The charming name 'Mamsell' pays homage to a delightful café and chocolate shop owned by a friend of mine, located on Goltzstrasse in Berlin. So, each pair of socks isn’t just a cozy addition to your wardrobe—it's a piece of nostalgia and a celebration of local culture.

Sizes Available: Size S (20.5 cm / 8 inches), Size M (23 cm / 9 inches), Size L (25.5 cm / 10 inches). These socks cater to various foot sizes, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for everyone.

Recommended Needles: Use 2.5mm (US 1.5) needles to work in the round, allowing you to create seamless and beautifully constructed socks for yourself or as gifts.

Yarn Details: For this project, I used two skeins of Woll Butt Söckli 4 ply yarn in a vibrant orange color, which consists of 75% wool and 25% polyamide, offering both warmth and durability. Each 50g ball provides 210 meters of yarn, making it easy to complete your sock project with just the right amount.

Difficulty Level: This pattern is classified as basic sock knitting, incorporating some cable work and chart reading to keep things interesting. Whether you’re a beginner ready to take on new challenges or a seasoned knitter looking for a quick yet satisfying project, this sock pattern is sure to delight.
