Shermer Socks

If you're a fan of classic '80s cinema, you'll love this uniquely designed sock inspired by the iconic characters from *The Breakfast Club*. This delightful sock pattern brings together five distinct personas: the brain, the athlete, the basket case, the princess, and the criminal, all interwoven through their shared experience during Saturday detention at Shermer High School.

You have the flexibility to customize your knitting project by choosing to stripe only the leg of the sock (refer to pages 5-6). This option generally requires less than 10g of each contrasting color (CC) depending on your size and length preferences. Alternatively, you can opt for a more vibrant design by striping the entire sock (found on pages 3-4), which will typically use 20g or less of each CC based on your desired sock dimensions. Whether you want to incorporate more than five colors for a bold look or simplify the design with just two colors for the stripes, note that yarn usage will differ according to your choices.

This sock pattern is knit from the top down and features a shadow wrap heel and a wedge toe for added comfort and style. While the pattern is specifically designed for magic loop knitting, you can easily substitute another heel and toe style if you prefer, although this may impact the amount of main color (MC) yarn needed. The instructions specify N1 as the front of the leg, foot, and toe, while N2 represents the back of the leg, heel, foot, and toe.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or just starting out, this fun and nostalgic sock pattern is sure to be a hit. Embrace your creativity and pay homage to your favorite film while keeping your feet cozy with this charming pattern!
