SoftServe Socks
If you're looking to expand your knitting skills, this sock pattern is perfect for beginner-intermediate knitters who are eager to create something special. While it’s not the ideal choice for your very first sock project, it provides a rewarding challenge that will enhance your skills.
This delightful cuff-down sock pattern features an eye-catching textured ankle design, along with beautiful striped color-work and a comfortable gusset heel. The combination of these elements not only makes for a stylish sock but also a great learning experience.
Available Sizes: This pattern includes three sizes to accommodate different foot circumferences: Small (Cast On 56 stitches) for 7.5-9” circumference, Medium (Cast On 64 stitches) for 10” circumference, and Large (Cast On 72 stitches) for 11” circumference. With these options, you can craft the perfect fit for yourself or as a thoughtful gift!
Method: Knitting Difficulty: Beginner-Intermediate Weight: Fingering Yardage: 2 x 100 grams in contrasting colors Needles: Use 9” circular needles, but feel free to opt for the magic loop method or double-pointed needles (DPNs) if that's your preference.
For the sample pair, I chose one skein of Celtic Raven fibers yarn paired with one skein of my "Be Mine" colorway. For the size small, you will need at least 30g of color A and 50g of color B.
Alternative Yarn Recommendations: Based on feedback from testers, some excellent alternative yarns include - Loops and Threads Wool Like, Araucania Huasco Sock, and KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud. All of these options provide a lovely finish to your socks.
Additional Supplies Needed: To complete your sock project, you will need two stitch markers (with one designated for the Beginning Of Round), a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, scissors, and a measuring tape to ensure a perfect fit.
