Nath socks

Introducing the Nath sock pattern, a delightful creation named in honor of one of my talented test knitters. This pattern is designed in collaboration with the renowned Madelinetosh Yarn Company, through their esteemed yarn support program dedicated to indie designers. I feel truly privileged to have participated as one of the testers for their luxurious Euro Sock yarn. This high-quality yarn is not only incredibly soft and durable but also offers remarkable flexibility, making it an excellent choice for your upcoming sock projects. I highly recommend using this gem of a yarn for crafting beautifully comfortable socks!

In the Nath sock pattern, you'll learn a variety of essential techniques that will enhance your knitting skills. You'll discover how to cast on using the exquisite, flexible, and somewhat uncommon Picot cast-on technique, perfect for 1x1 ribbing. Additionally, I’ll guide you through the process of working a tidy and neat ssk (slip, slip, knit), as well as how to create the perfectly finished German short heel that mimics the quality of store-bought socks.

The Nath socks are expertly knitted from the cuff down to the toe, ensuring a classic design that is both stylish and practical. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting your journey in sock making, this pattern offers a comprehensive approach to knit a stunning pair of socks that you’ll be proud to wear or gift.

Gauge

For optimal results, ensure your gauge matches: 34.25 sts and 52 rnds = 10 cm / 4” over Stocking stitch. A gauge swatch should be worked on size 2.25 mm / US 1 needle, in the round. Proper gauge ensures that your socks fit beautifully and maintain their shape, providing both comfort and durability for everyday wear.
