Spinning Wheel
Introducing our beautifully designed spinning wheel socks, crafted specifically for both seasoned knitters and enthusiastic beginners alike! These unique socks feature an attractive design that evokes the charm of a spinning wheel, making them a perfect gift for the crafty friend in your life, just like they were for my dear friend Sierra, a new spinner. The spoked wheels are meticulously interspersed with elegant columns of reverse stockinette, adding depth and texture to the design. The feminine 1x1 rib cuff gracefully complements the overall look and ensures a snug, comfortable fit.
The finished size options cater to various foot sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L), measuring 7” (8”, 9” around), unstretched. This makes our spinning wheel socks an ideal pattern for a range of recipients, ensuring everyone can enjoy their cozy, hand-knit charm.
For this project, we recommend using Neighborhood Fiber Company Studio Sock yarn, a luxurious blend of 100% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon, providing both softness and durability with 400 yards per 100g skein. In this particular sample, we used the gorgeous colorway "Victorian Village" to highlight the intricate patterns beautifully.
When it comes to tools, you will need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or two circular needles in size 1 US (2.5 mm), or any size needed to achieve the perfect gauge. Speaking of which, the gauge for this pattern is 8 stitches per inch in stockinette, knit in the round, ensuring your socks fit perfectly on your or your friend's feet.
Whether you're looking for a fresh new project to challenge your knitting skills or a thoughtful hand-knit gift to brighten someone's day, these spinning wheel socks are the perfect choice. Dive into this delightful knitting adventure today and create warm, cherished memories one stitch at a time!
