Rakas
The feeling just lingered on. It had to be true love.
Introducing the Rakas toe-up sock pattern, a beautifully intricate design that showcases a delicate lace and twisted ribbing pattern on the instep. This pattern is perfect for knitters looking to create stylish and comfortable socks. After knitting the heel, you’ll continue the stunning pattern around the leg, which then gracefully transforms into a twisted ribbing for the cuffs, making for a lovely finish. One unique feature of the Rakas sock pattern is the option to add beads as you knit, though these can easily be omitted for those who prefer a simpler approach without working with beads.
Size: Medium, designed to fit a foot circumference of 8.5 inches (22 cm).
Yarn: You will need Vole’s Nest Twist Sock yarn, which consists of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon, providing a cozy and durable fabric, with a yardage of 365 meters per 100 grams. Alternatively, you may use any other fingering weight yarn that you prefer to customize your sock. You’ll need just 1 skein, but remember that the required yardage may vary depending on your chosen size and the length of the foot.
Needles: For this project, use US size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns). Make sure to adjust your needle size if necessary to achieve the correct gauge for your knitting.
Gauge: The specified gauge is 16 stitches x 22 rounds = 2x2 inches (5x5 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking, ensuring a well-fitted sock that holds its shape beautifully.
Additional Tools: You will also need a 0.6 mm crochet hook for adding beads, size 0/8 beads if you choose to include them, and a tapestry needle for weaving in your ends. With these items in hand, you’ll be ready to create the delightful Rakas toe-up sock that adds both warmth and style to your sock collection.
Perfect for advanced beginners and seasoned knitters alike, the Rakas sock pattern will not only keep your feet warm but also add a touch of elegance to your wardrobe. Download the pattern today and experience the joy of knitting your own pair of stunning toe-up socks!
