Pictus socks

Introducing the Pictus Socks, a delightful sister design to our popular Pictus pullover. These stylish mid-length socks feature a charming trim of floral colourwork on the cuff, complemented by contrasting German short row heel and toe. Knit from the top down in the round, these socks not only provide warmth but also add a touch of creativity to your knitting repertoire.

Yarn Suggestions (for creating a mismatched pair):

MC (Main Color - background colour): You will need approximately 30 (32, 35, 37) g of Darnie from Studio Donegal, a luxurious 100% merino wool with a 2 ply structure, boasting 410 m (448 yds) per 100 g. Alternatively, you can use about 123 (133, 143, 153) m // 135 (145, 156, 167) yds of any other heavy fingering or sport weight yarn that matches the gauge.

CC (Contrasting Colour - for colourwork): For the floral colourwork accents, you will need the same amount of a contrasting colour yarn in any other heavy fingering or sport weight that complements your main color.

Gauge Information:

Achieve a perfect fit with a gauge of 26 sts and 36 rnds in 10 cm (4 in) measured over stockinette stitch worked in the round using 2.5 mm (US 1.5) needles, after blocking. The same gauge applies to the colourwork section, ensuring a seamless blend of textures and colours in your finished socks.
