Third Avenue Socks

Introducing the Third Avenue Socks knitting pattern, inspired by the diverse textures found in bustling urban cityscapes. These unique socks feature a stunning weave-like slip stitch pattern combined with the elegant eye of partridge heel, resulting in a plush and cozy fit. Whether you prefer highly variegated, speckled, or solid yarns, this pattern is designed to enhance the beauty of any choice you make. While prior experience with sock knitting is recommended, it is not strictly required for this adaptable pattern.

This versatile pattern is crafted for toe-up sock knitting using the magic loop technique, allowing you to create beautifully fitted socks from the toe to the cuff. However, if you have a different preferred method for knitting in the round or would like to try cuff-down knitting, this pattern can be easily adapted to suit your style.

Sizes: Available in S (M, L) for a blocked circumference of 7 (7.75, 8.5)” / 18 (19.5, 21.5) cm, ensuring a comfortable fit for various foot sizes.

Yarn: You will need 100 grams of fingering weight yarn to complete this project. The sample was beautifully knit using Republic of Wool Twist Fingering, a luxurious blend of 80% Merino and 20% Nylon; with 100g providing approximately 440 yds / 400 m in the playful colorway called Goober Patrol.

Needles: For this project, you’ll require US size 1.5 / 2.5 mm long circular needles suitable for the magic loop method, or you can use your preferred knitting needles for working in the round.

Gauge: Achieve a gauge of 8 stitches and 12 rows in stockinette = 1” / 2.5cm, unstretched, to ensure your socks have the perfect fit and cozy texture.
