Timperley Toes

Welcome to the ultimate “Pick ‘n’ Mix” sock knitting pattern! This versatile cuff-down sock pattern allows you to create a variety of sock styles, including ankle socks, regular socks, and shorties. Plus, with options for a short row heel or a classic heel flap & gusset, as well as a choice between plain or patterned toes, you can customize your experience with a total of 8 unique variations across 3 different sizes! The creative decisions are entirely in your hands!

One standout feature of this pattern is the innovative No-holes Short Row Heel, which differs from the traditional “Wrap and Turn” method. To ensure the best results, I highly recommend carefully following the detailed instructions provided. This design introduces you to a fresh way of crafting short row heels, making your sock knitting even more enjoyable.

While I personally prefer using double-pointed needles (DPNs) for knitting socks, I’ve crafted this pattern to accommodate all needle preferences, whether you lean towards circular needles or other methods for knitting in the round. I recommend using a needle size of 2.75mm (US Size 2) for optimal results.

As with all my designs, I've focused on highlighting the stunning yarns offered by independent hand dyers. This pattern is particularly compatible with self-striping yarns, allowing you to showcase vibrant colorways in your socks.

If you have any questions or need assistance, my support details are available at the end of the pattern. I'm also more than happy to chat about your sock-making adventure. Dive into this “Pick ‘n’ Mix” sock knitting pattern and unleash your creativity today!
