Stamets

Introducing the Lt. Paul Stamets Socks, inspired by the chief engineer aboard the USS Discovery! Known for his groundbreaking work with the revolutionary spore drive technology that enables Starfleet ships to traverse the vastness of space in an instant using the mycelial network, these socks allow you to step into his shoes — or rather, socks! Designed for adventurous knitters, navigating the intricacies of the mycelial network may seem daunting at first, but it quickly becomes an intuitive journey as you delve deeper into your knitting.

These beautifully crafted socks are knit from the toe up in the round, featuring an elegant and undulating twisted-stitch and lace pattern that adds both texture and visual interest. The design incorporates a gusset-and-flap heel construction complemented by a twisted-stitch heel flap, ensuring durability and comfort. The unique stitch pattern provides a snug, foot-hugging fit, making them suitable for a wide range of foot sizes — perfect for family gifts or personal use! You’ll enjoy working on the right and left socks, which are thoughtfully designed as mirror images of each other, allowing you to practice your knitting skills while creating a stunning pair.

This pattern is user-friendly, offering instructions in both metric and US terminology. To cater to different learning styles, you'll find both written and charted instructions provided for the intricate stitch pattern, making it accessible whether you're a beginner or an experienced knitter.

For best results, a gauge of 32 stitches x 40 rounds equals 4 inches, ensuring your socks fit perfectly. Don't forget to share your finished project on social media using the hashtags #stametssocks, #socktrekdiscovery, and #talviknits to connect with fellow knitting enthusiasts and show off your creative work!
