Mint Julep Sock

Introducing the Mint Julep sock knitting pattern—a perfect choice for anyone looking to create quick and easy socks with a stylish twist! This beginner-friendly pattern is ideal for first-time sock knitters, featuring an easily memorized broken rib stitch pattern that seamlessly combines texture and comfort. With no grafting or seams required, this pattern simplifies the sock-making process to ensure that you have a delightful knitting experience.

One of the highlights of the Mint Julep pattern is its simplified Fleegle-inspired heel design. This innovative approach eliminates the need for picking up gusset stitches, resulting in a smooth, gap-free finish. Whether you're making socks for yourself or as thoughtful gifts, this pattern allows for easy customization to achieve the perfect fit for any foot size.

The broken rib stitch not only adds a beautiful texture but also enhances the overall fit of the sock, making it a great choice for both solid and heavily-patterned sock yarns. You will need approximately 50 to 60 yards of fingering weight yarn for a child's small ankle sock, while adult XXL mid-calf height socks may require up to 500 yards. The sample shown was crafted in Paton's Kroy Sock, but feel free to use any fingering weight sock yarn to bring your personal touch to the project!
