The Big Lake Socks
Introducing the Big Lake Lace Socks pattern, inspired by the stunning Lake Superior and its serene Isle Royale. This delightful knitting pattern includes detailed instructions for both a traditional pair and a trendy shortie version, perfect for chilly spring days and cool summer nights spent by the lake!
Finished Size: S (M, L), designed to comfortably fit 7” (8”, 8.5” around) unstretched. Keep in mind that these lacy socks feature a very stretchy design, allowing a medium size to accommodate up to 11” around for a cozy fit.
Yarn: The pattern calls for Avalon Springs Farm Isle Royale, a luxurious blend of 99% Merino wool and 1% copper, providing both warmth and durability. Each skein contains 490 yards and weighs 113 grams, giving you just enough yarn to create your stunning lace socks.
Needles: You'll need a set of 5 double-pointed needles or a pair of circular needles in size 2 US (2.75 mm). Be sure to check your gauge, and feel free to use a different needle size to achieve the perfect fit.
Gauge: To ensure your socks turn out beautifully, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch, knit in the round. Proper gauge is essential for both size and stitch definition, particularly in this intricate lacework.
Embrace your love for knitting with the Big Lake Lace Socks pattern and keep your feet stylishly cozy, whether you're enjoying nature's beauty or simply relaxing at home. Download your free or premium knitting pattern today and embark on your next crafting adventure!
