Tendril socks
Discover the beauty of handknit socks with our intricate toe-up sock pattern, featuring an elegant leaf lace design framed by charming mini twisted cables. These socks are designed with a comfy garter stitch heel that is not only easy to work but also ensures a snug fit. The eye-catching lace panel seamlessly transitions into a twisted cable cuff, making for a practical and visually appealing accessory that any knitter will love. The lace motifs are relatively straightforward to memorize, and the use of stocking stitch throughout makes these socks perfect for on-the-go knitting projects, whether you're commuting or traveling.
This versatile pattern includes both charted and written instructions for the lace panel and offers a helpful video link for the cast on, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can successfully create these delightful socks. You can choose to work using the magic loop method or with two circular needles, making this pattern an excellent option for two-at-a-time knitting. However, if you prefer to take a more traditional route, knitting one sock at a time is perfectly fine too!
The sock circumference (when stretched) sizes are as follows: Small 7”, Medium 8.5”, and Large 9.5”. This pattern is specifically designed for comfortable wear and is ideal for showcasing hand-dyed sock yarns, though any 4-ply yarn can be substituted. For optimum durability, consider using yarns that include a small amount of nylon or those with a high twist, as they tend to withstand heavy wear much better. Delight in the joy of making your own custom handknit socks, and elevate your knitting collection with this beautiful yet functional pattern!
