Swirl Bumps

Discover our delightful unisex sock pattern featuring a captivating knit and purl design that creates the illusion of swirling lines. This unique pattern not only adds visual interest but also helps to break up the pooling that can occur with hand-dyed yarn, ensuring your socks look stunning from any angle. Whether you choose to wear your socks with the swirling lines pointing toward each other or away from each other, you can express your mood (and your attention span) with every wear!

The sample socks showcased in the photos are crafted using just one skein of high-quality sock yarn and were knit according to the instructions for the smallest size, resulting in a foot length of 9.5 inches (or 24 cm). Please note that your actual yarn usage may vary based on the specific width and length of your foot. To avoid running out of yarn mid-project, it’s essential to ensure you have enough yarn on hand to complete your cozy creations. If you plan to knit a larger size or if you have longer feet, we recommend purchasing two skeins of the recommended yarn.

This pattern is perfect for intermediate to advanced knitters who are comfortable with essential techniques. To successfully complete this pattern, you should be familiar with the basics of knitting and purling, working in the round, performing standard decreases (k2tog and ssk), and grafting live stitches together using the Kitchener stitch technique.

Rest assured, this sock pattern has undergone professional tech editing to ensure clarity and accuracy, allowing you to enjoy a smooth knitting experience. Get started on your new favorite pair of socks today, and elevate your knitting skills while creating something special!
