Mathilde Socks
Experience the joy of knitting with our toe-up sock pattern, designed specifically for seamless construction using the magic loop technique. If you prefer a more traditional approach, feel free to use double-pointed needles instead. This versatile pattern employs the short rows heel method, but you have the freedom to select any heel technique that suits your knitting style. For those looking to speed up the process, you can even knit both socks at the same time.
Sizes: Available in Small (56 sts), Medium (64 sts), and Large (72 sts), this pattern caters to diverse foot sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone.
Materials: You will need Garnstudio Drops Fabel (50 g/1.8 oz, 210 m/230 yds, 75% wool/25% polyamide): approximately 50g of a fingering weight yarn in color 144 Light Pearl Grey (CP). Additionally, you will require Garnstudio Drops Delight (50 g/1.8 oz, 175 m/191 yds, 75% wool/25% polyamide): about 20g of fingering yarn in color 06 Pink/Purple (CC). These vibrant colors create an eye-catching design that’s perfect for any wardrobe.
Needles: For this project, use a 2.5 mm US 1, 80 cm (32”) or longer circular needle. If necessary, adjust your needle size to achieve the correct gauge, ensuring a polished finished product. You'll also need 2 stitch markers for the lace section and 1 additional stitch marker if you wish to mark the Beginning of Round (BOR). Don’t forget your tapestry needle for weaving in ends, along with a pair of scissors for trimming your yarn.
Gauge: To ensure the perfect fit, aim for a gauge of 29 stitches and 35 rounds to measure 10 cm (4”) in Stockinette Stitch combined with a beautiful lace pattern in the center. This intricate design adds a lovely texture to your handmade socks.
