Tansy Socks

Experience the joy of late summer with our delightful Tansy Socks knitting pattern, inspired by the cheerful golden flowers of the Tansy plant that grace roadsides, park trails, and open fields. These vibrant yellow blooms symbolize the warmth and beauty of the season, and now you can bring that essence into your home with a cozy pair of socks.

This design beautifully combines traditional Estonian knitting techniques with modern flair, making it a perfect project for both experienced knitters and adventurous beginners. The Tansy Socks are worked from the top down, featuring a striking pop of color at the cuff that adds a playful twist to your knitting. The design includes a garter-framed heel flap for added comfort and durability, along with elegant Roositud patterns that travel gracefully down the front of the ankle and foot, showcasing your craftsmanship.

For this project, you will need lightweight yarn, specifically in the Light Fingering (ply) weight. The main color (MC), a lovely White, requires approximately 190-375 yards (174-343 meters), while the accent colors—Goldenrod (CC1) and Sage (CC2)—call for 20-40 yards (18-36 meters) each. This diverse color palette allows for creativity, making your pair of socks uniquely yours!

Our Tansy Socks pattern accommodates a variety of sizes including Toddler, Kids Small, Kids Medium, Kids Large, Teen, Adult Small/Medium, and Adult Medium/Large, ensuring that everyone in the family can enjoy a warm and stylish pair.

For your knitting tools, use US size 1 and 2 (2.25 mm & 2.75 mm) double-pointed needles or a 24”/60 cm long circular needle if you prefer the magic loop method. With these materials and guidance from our pattern, you’ll find that creating beautiful, intricate socks is a rewarding and delightful experience.
