Marinus

Marinus - derived from Latin, meaning "of the sea," embodies the essence of ocean-inspired design. The Marinus socks are crafted with an exquisite all-over texture stitch pattern that beautifully mimics the dynamic movement and varying depths of water found in the sea. This unique design feature not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also creates a gentle slouchy feeling without adding unnecessary bulk.

Each sock is expertly worked from the cuff down, incorporating a garter stitch variation of the eye of the partridge heel flap paired with a Dutch heel turn. To finish, the rounded toe shaping provides a comfortable fit and elegant finish. The fully written pattern is beginner-friendly and includes detailed instructions, as well as illustrations to guide you through the techniques. For visual learners, a chart for the stitch pattern is also provided, making it easy to follow along.

The Marinus socks are an ideal project for showcasing colorful yarns, including stunning hand-dyed effects, adding a personal touch to your knitting collection. With a range of sizes available—Small (15.25cm/6 inches), Medium (19cm/7.5 inches), Large (23cm/9 inches), and XLarge (25cm/10 inches)—these socks are designed to be worn with 1-3.75cm (0.5-1.5 inches) of negative ease through the foot for a snug fit.

Gauge for the Marinus socks is 32 stitches & 64 rows = 10cm (4 inches) in garter stitch when worked in the round. While the pattern is accessible for beginners, having prior knowledge of sock construction will enhance your experience and confidence as you create these beautiful socks.
