Ophidia

Introducing our beautifully designed Ophidia sock pattern—a perfect blend of rich texture and playful color. Featuring a touch of vertically-stranded accent color, this sock is crafted with ample ribbing to ensure a snug and comfortable fit. The innovative gusset, strategically placed at the back of the leg, contributes to a shapely Strong heel, while the delightful tracks of contrasting color run gracefully from top to bottom, creating a visually captivating design.

The stitch pattern is not only stretchy and forgiving, making it suitable for knitters of all skill levels, but it is also designed for feet with circumferences of 7.5", 8.5", and 9.5". Flexibility is key—matching row gauge is not crucial for this pattern, and it’s easy to customize the sock by shortening the leg, simply by starting the heel gusset a bit earlier.

For yarn requirements, you will need a full skein of fingering weight yarn, along with approximately 25 yards of a contrasting color for those eye-catching vertical strands. Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just beginning your journey, the Ophidia sock pattern offers a delightful challenge that results in a stunning pair of socks.

Notably, the Ophidia sock pattern is Stage 5 of the acclaimed 2015 Tour de Sock—a six-stage speed knitting competition that benefits the life-changing work of Doctors Without Borders. Join a community of passionate knitters, enjoy the satisfaction of creating unique socks, and contribute to a worthy cause all at the same time!
