Stereoisomer Socks

Introducing the Stereoisomer Socks pattern, a beautifully charted slip-stitch mosaic design featuring an 8-stitch repeat that is perfect for knitters looking to explore the world of colorwork. This toe-up sock pattern utilizes the popular magic loop technique and incorporates an innovative afterthought heel for a seamless finish.

The Stereoisomer Socks pattern is tailored for the sock knitter who is already familiar with the basics of sock construction but hasn't yet ventured into the realm of colorwork. This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your skills and create a stunning pair of socks that stand out!

To achieve the best results, we recommend selecting colors that are in high contrast with each other. This ensures the design elements of the colorwork remain vivid and do not blend together. Consider vibrant color combinations that will make your Stereoisomer Socks a true fashion statement.

For this pattern, you'll need fingering weight yarn. The sample sock utilized approximately 35 grams of each color, amounting to a total of around 280 yards. Please note that yardage can vary depending on your sock length and your chosen color selections for the heel, toe, and cuff.

As a reminder, socks require a snug fit since they tend to stretch with wear. Therefore, for the ideal fit, your finished sock measurement should be slightly less than your measured foot circumference. The sample sock was designed with a 64-stitch medium size, suitable for an EU size 39.

Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, the Stereoisomer Socks pattern is designed to inspire creativity and build confidence in your knitting skills. Dive into the art of colorwork and enjoy crafting a unique pair of socks that will elevate your sock drawer!
