Introducing the Sherbrooke Socks knitting pattern, designed for passionate knitters who love creating charming, cozy footwear! These stunning socks are expertly crafted entirely in the round, from the cuff all the way down to the toe, ensuring a seamless and comfortable fit. This pattern is perfect for knitters of various skill levels, featuring both a comprehensive written description and detailed charts to guide you through the process.
Gauge: 31 stitches and 33 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in colorwork stitch when knitting in the round (after blocking).
Yarn: The Sherbrooke Socks are made using Mondim Rosa Pomar yarn, which comes in a convenient 100 grams per 385 meters skein. This yarn is 100% Portuguese wool, making it not only durable but also warm and comfortable. You will need the main color (300) along with an undyed white contrasting color (100) to bring your design to life.
Yardage: For this project, anticipate using approximately 51 grams (197 meters) of the main color (MC) and around 30 grams (117 meters) of the contrasting color (CC).
Notions: Be prepared for your knitting journey! You will require circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPN) in US size 1.5 (2.50 mm) for the ribbing and a second set of circular needles or DPN in US size 2.5 (3.00 mm) for the main stitch. Additional necessities include scissors, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for finishing.
Techniques Used: This pattern incorporates several essential knitting techniques to enhance your skills, including the long-tail cast-on, working in the round, knitting and purling, colorwork knitting, the jogless method, increases and decreases, and the Kitchener stitch for a flawless toe finish.
