Twillish Socks

This beautifully intricate pattern for stranded socks, featuring gussets and a traditional heel flap, draws inspiration from the twill scarves I meticulously wove on my table loom. Not only do these socks showcase an eye-catching design, but they also coordinate perfectly with my Twillish Beanie & Twillish Fingerless Gloves patterns, making them a wonderful addition to your knitted accessory collection. Thanks to my dedicated test knitters, who rated this pattern as intermediate, you can expect a rewarding knitting experience!

SIZES: Available in Adult S (M, L), designed to fit a foot circumference of 7.5 (8.75, 9.5) inches (19 (22.25, 24.5) cm), featuring 0.75”/2 cm of negative ease for a snug fit. This ensures your socks stay comfortably in place while providing warmth and style.

**MATERIALS:** To create these stunning stranded socks, you'll need high-quality fingering weight yarn. The sample shown above uses the main color (MC): Hazel Knits Piquant Lite, composed of 90% Merino wool and 10% nylon/polyamide (110g/3.88oz), totaling 400 yards/366 meters in the lovely Color Primrose: 1 skein. For the contrasting color (CC), I recommend Direful Yarns sock yarn, which is made of 80% Merino wool and 20% nylon/polyamide (100g/3.53oz), also providing 400 yards/366 meters in the striking colorway Never Trust the Living: 1 skein. You will need U.S. size 2 (2.75 mm) needles, specifically 2 circulars (or size needed to obtain the correct gauge), along with a darning needle for finishing touches.

I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to my talented test knitters: Edie, Laetitia, Sabine, Jeanne, Tisha, Carol, Maru, and Mari! Your feedback and support have been invaluable in perfecting this pattern.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or looking to hone your skills, this stranded sock pattern will challenge you while adding an exquisite pair of socks to your wardrobe. Knit your way to cozy feet with this exceptional design!
