Soft Spots

Soft Spots Knitting Pattern for Polka Dot Socks features a charming and simple graphic colorwork design: polka dots. These toe-up socks are expertly crafted to incorporate a stunning colorwork pattern characterized by short floats that do not need to be caught. This ensures an easy and enjoyable knitting experience for knitters of all skill levels.

The design includes clever gusset increases hidden on the bottom of the sole, allowing the playful polka dot pattern to flow seamlessly across the foot. Additionally, stitches are increased above the heel flap, providing a better fit and ensuring that the wider leg design smoothly accommodates your heel. The toes, heel flaps, and cuffs are infused with vibrant contrasting colors, creating bright and eye-catching pops of color that elevate the visual appeal of the socks.

Soft Spots are knitted from the toe up using two colors of sport-weight yarn, making this pattern both versatile and fun to work on. The socks are available in two different sizes: 48 and 64 stitches, making them suitable for a variety of foot sizes. The detailed pattern is written with both metric and US terminology, ensuring accessibility for knitters worldwide. Note that the stranded colorwork pattern is available charted only, providing a straightforward guide for easy reference.

Gauge: 24 sts x 34 rnds = 4" in stranded stockinette in the round, blocked.
