Sea Glass Socks

Discover the charm of these lacy, airy socks, expertly crafted from the cuff down for both beauty and comfort. This delightful pattern requires just one 400-yard hank of 80/20 superwash merino/nylon sock yarn. The yarn featured in the photo is a stunning hand-dyed creation by Elissa Crouch, available at Knit Nook (410-648-5648). For those looking for a similar option, Yarn Enabler’s Gradient Dyed Fingering offers a comparable choice. These feminine and fun socks are perfect for showcasing self-striping, hand-dyed yarns, ensuring that each pair is as unique as the wearer.

The combination of delicate openwork and a soft stockinette background not only makes these socks aesthetically pleasing but also ensures a comfortable fit. To achieve the best results, be sure to measure your gauge on a washed and blocked swatch, as superwash yarns often expand when exposed to water.

This pattern is written for a standard S/M foot size, using size 0 double pointed needles (dpn). For those with larger M/L sized feet, simply follow the original directions while opting for size 1 dpns, or the size needed to meet the gauge specified for larger sizes. These intricate socks make a wonderful gift for loved ones or a lovely treat for yourself, adding a touch of style to any outfit.
