Norwegian Fana Socks

Discover the charm of traditional knitting with our Fana Cardigan-inspired sock pattern, reminiscent of 19th century Norwegian designs. This pattern features delightful star, band, and checkerboard motifs, making it a joy to knit for knitters of all levels. Available in four sizes, these socks are perfect for keeping your feet cozy and stylish. The sock's construction includes a stockinette stitch heel flap knitted in a playful checkerboard pattern, complemented by a perfectly rounded heel and toe for added comfort. The gauge for this pattern is 8 stitches per inch in two-color Stockinette stitch, ensuring a snug fit. We recommend using five-ply Guernsey or firm sport weight yarn for optimum results, but if you prefer a lighter-weight option, high-quality sock yarn can also be used.
