Tyneham

From Dorset with Love ... a delightful collection celebrating adventure, friendship, warmth, and the joy of knitting - stitch by stitch, row by row.

Everyone has their own recipe for the perfect knitting adventure, and mine is all about the essentials: breathtaking scenery, excellent company, a warm flask of delicious tea, scrumptious snacks, and, of course, the comfort of hand-knit socks! Always hand-knit socks! Whether trekking through the countryside or simply enjoying a cozy evening at home, there's nothing quite like slipping into a pair of hand-knit socks.

After much thought and careful consideration, I’ve designed the ultimate adventure sock. My ideal sock features a smooth, plain foot, ensuring maximum comfort while wearing walking boots, paired with a snug ribbed leg to create a perfect fit. I tend to prefer medium-length socks, but if you’re passionate about long boot socks, you can effortlessly adjust the pattern to suit your style. These wonderful socks are worked from the toe up, allowing you to utilize every last precious meter of that luxurious sock yarn you cherish.

Now that we have the perfect adventure sock nailed down, let’s dream about where our next knitting adventure will take us!

Yarn:

For these delightful socks, I recommend using Ripples Crafts Reliable Sock Yarn (fingering weight; composed of 75% wool and 25% nylon; providing 420m / 459yd per 100g skein). The sample featured is shown in the beautiful colorway of Warm Gold, perfect for any season.

As a handy tip, a suggested substitute yarn is provided below, so you can choose the perfect yarn that matches your adventure and style.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, this sock pattern is designed to inspire and delight, ensuring your knitting experience is as memorable as the adventures you embark on!
