Whether you’re an avid knitter or just starting, we believe you will love both the process of knitting and the pleasure of wearing your very own Tulip Leaves Socks.
Skill level: This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners to intermediate knitters. To successfully create these socks, you should be familiar with techniques such as Judy's Magic Cast On, magic loop, wrapping stitches, and knitting wrapped stitches. This project is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your skills while producing a beautiful pair of socks!
Finished dimensions: These socks come in two versatile sizes: Small, with a foot circumference of approximately 7 inches (17.5 cm), and Large, with a foot circumference of about 8 inches (20 cm). Additionally, this pattern includes multiple foot lengths to ensure a perfect fit for every knitter.
Suggested Yarn: For this project, we recommend using sock weight yarn with a total requirement of around 3.3 oz (95 g) or 390 yds (364 m) for the Small size, and 3.5 oz (100 g) or 420 yds (384 m) for the Large size. We have used McMullinFiberCo Squishy Sock yarn in the stunning Weathered colorway, which beautifully showcases the twisted stitch design and adds a touch of elegance to your finished socks.
Needles: You will need a size 1 (2.25 mm) circular needle, or a size that helps you achieve the specified gauge. Alternatively, you can also utilize double-pointed needles (dpns), dividing the stitches onto two sets (two dpns for the instep side and two dpns for the sole side) for a comfortable knitting experience.
Gauge: To ensure that your socks fit perfectly, aim for a gauge of 8 stitches and 12 rows to equal 1 inch (2.5 cm) in stockinette stitch. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for creating socks that fit snugly and comfortably on your feet.
