Staindrop Socks
Introducing our beautifully designed socks, crafted during a creative phase fueled by my passion for the enchanting Old Shale stitch. This intricate lace stitch is elegantly combined with sections of smooth stocking stitch, resulting in a striking pattern that enhances both style and comfort. The lace detail runs gracefully down the front and back of the sock leg, stopping precisely at the heel on the back while seamlessly continuing to the toe on the front—creating a unique visual appeal that you won’t find in typical sock patterns.
These socks are constructed in a classic cuff-down style and are available in 8 versatile sizes, accommodating everyone from toddlers to women’s and men’s sizes. Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a special gift, there's a perfect fit for everyone in the family!
For those looking to create a pair of large men's socks, you’ll be pleased to know that you can easily achieve this using just one ball of 100g 4-ply/fingering weight sock yarn. This makes it a practical and economical choice for your knitting projects.
A heartfelt thank you to my talented tech editor, Tabatha Thomas Studio, for her invaluable contributions to refining this pattern. Dive into your next knitting adventure with these stunning Old Shale socks and enjoy the process of creating a cozy, handmade accessory!
