Stygian Tides

Introducing our toe-up socks pattern, expertly designed with a unique ergonomic angled toe that ensures a perfect fit for both right and left feet. These stylish and comfortable socks feature a smooth hybrid mini-gusset and short-row heel, providing both functionality and a premium knitting experience. The beautiful patterning is achieved through stranded knitting, creating a stunning visual appeal while also allowing for variation in color. Each motif consists of one round that uses three strands in total, but for the majority of the stranded rounds, you'll only need to work with two strands per round. This clever design not only enhances the aesthetic of your socks but also showcases your knitting skills.

Our sample socks are crafted in size 3, utilizing a total of 72 stitches. For an exquisite finish, we recommend using Long Dog Yarn Bounce Sock in the eye-catching “Hades” sock set, combined with the beautifully contrasting “Pain” and “Panic” mini skeins. This combination of colors will help your finished socks stand out while adding a personal touch to your knitting project.

Available in a range of sizes, including Size 1 (2, 3, 4), our pattern accommodates foot and leg stitch counts of 56 (64, 72, 80) stitches. Designed with approximately 10% negative ease, these socks are perfect for foot circumferences of 7 (8, 9, 10) inches, ensuring a snug and cozy fit that conforms to your feet’s natural shape. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just beginning your knitting journey, this pattern offers both a challenge and a rewarding outcome.
