Midsummer Wreath Socks

Introducing the beautifully designed Midsummer Wreath Socks, a standout pattern from the captivating Summer Sock Collection 2020. This enchanting collection celebrates the rich tapestry of Latvian Midsummer traditions, intertwining cultural heritage with modern knitting techniques. Perfect for both experienced knitters and adventurous beginners, these socks offer a delightful challenge while honoring age-old festivities.

Materials Needed:

For this project, you'll require fingering weight yarn, with an ideal yardage of 400 meters in a 100-gram skein. Expect to use approximately 186 (208, 262) yards, or 170 (190, 240) meters, which translates to 43 (48, 60) grams for both socks. Please note that yardage may vary depending on your gauge and chosen yarn, so it's always best to have a little extra on hand!

Gauge Information:

The recommended gauge for the Midsummer Wreath Socks is 32 stitches and 42 rounds for a 4-inch (10cm) section of stockinette stitch. It's crucial to use US #1 (2.25mm) knitting needles to achieve this gauge. Adjust your needle size accordingly if needed to ensure a perfect fit.

Needle Requirements:

You will need US #1 / 2.25mm double-pointed needles (DPNs), or alternatively, you can opt for a circular needle if you're using the magic loop technique. Choose the tools that are most comfortable for you and that help you achieve the correct gauge for this lovely sock pattern.

Other Notions Required:

In addition to your yarn and needles, don’t forget to gather some essential notions including stitch markers for tracking your rounds, as well as a darning needle for seamless finishing. These tools will help enhance your knitting experience and ensure your Midsummer Wreath Socks turn out beautifully.

Elevate your knitting repertoire this summer with the Midsummer Wreath Socks, where craft meets culture. You'll not only keep your feet cozy but also carry a piece of Latvian tradition with you wherever you go.
