Tailgate

Introducing the Tailgate Shortie Socks – an innovative experiment in sock construction that is perfect for knitters looking to explore unique designs! These charming shortie socks are knitted from the cuff down and feature a distinct heel and gusset construction that beautifully highlights self-striping yarn. The result is not just a visually stunning pair of socks, but also a truly comfortable fit.

Thanks to this special construction method, the Tailgate socks boast very roomy gussets, making them an excellent choice for those with a higher instep. However, if the roomy fit doesn’t quite match your needs, worry not! The pattern includes detailed instructions for modifying the gussets to comfortably accommodate your feet.

This versatile sock pattern also offers optional arch shaping and showcases a trendy star-toe finish, allowing you to tailor the socks to your preferences. With tech editing and comprehensive test knitting behind it, this pattern ensures quality and clarity for every knitter. You will find instructions for 5 different circumferences, and the foot length is fully customizable, making it easy to create the perfect fit for everyone.

All instructions are presented in a clear written format without specific needle requirements, so you are free to use your preferred needle style and method for working small circumference in the round. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, Tailgate Shortie Socks will quickly become a favorite project in your knitting repertoire!
