Sycamore socks
Discover the charm of the Sycamore socks, a delightful knitting project that's perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike. These socks are designed to be simple yet stylish, making them easy to knit in just a couple of cozy evenings. Whether you're looking to create handmade gifts or cozy up in your own pair, the Sycamore socks offer both comfort and elegance. These socks are worked in the round, progressing seamlessly from the cuff to the toe, ensuring a lovely fit and a smooth knitting experience.
Gauge: 24 stitches * 30 rows = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette stitch in the round (after blocking). Achieving the correct gauge is essential for a perfect fit, so make sure to check your tension before starting!
Yarn: For this project, we recommend using Superba Alpaca Luxury Socks by Rico Design, which comes in a 100-gram skein with 310 meters of beautiful yarn. This exquisite blend features 62% wool, 15% alpaca, and 23% polyamide, making it an ideal choice for cozy, long-lasting socks. You will need approximately 60 grams of this luxurious yarn for one pair of socks, ensuring you have enough for your project with a little left over for swatching or embellishments.
Notions Required: Gather your tools for this project! You will need either circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPN) in US size 3 (3.25 mm), a cable needle, scissors, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle for weaving in those pesky ends.
Techniques Used: This pattern incorporates several fundamental knitting techniques, including the Picot cuff, working seamlessly in the round, as well as essential skills like knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing stitches, and the Kitchener stitch for a flawless toe closure.
