Under the Umbrella Socks
Celebrate the charm of rainy days with our delightful knitterly umbrellas, a perfect accessory for the month of rain! This unique pattern showcases a lineup of vibrant umbrellas and is designed to be both stylish and functional. Ideal for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern will help you create a beautiful piece that not only looks great but keeps you cozy during those drizzly days.
Measurements: To fit sizes: Adult Small (Adult Medium, Adult Large). The approximate finished circumference for the umbrellas is 7 (8, 9) inches, ensuring a snug fit with ½”-1” of negative ease for ultimate comfort.
Materials: You will need 250 (290, 330) yards (229 (265, 302) meters) of fingering/sock weight yarn. For this project, we used the stunning Yarnbox April Showers yarn (520 yds/115g skein), which is a luxurious blend of 65% Merino Wool and 35% Bamboo. You will also require US Size 1 (2.25mm) double pointed knitting needles (set of 4) and 3 stitch markers to complete this lovely pattern.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 32 stitches and 44 rounds = 4 inches in stockinette stitch (st st) in the round, and be sure to check the Umbrella Lace Chart using US Size 1 (2.25mm) knitting needles after blocking. To successfully knit the Umbrella Lace, aim for 17 stitches = 2 ½ inches in the lace pattern when worked in the round on the same needle size after blocking.
This pattern is an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their knitting skills while enjoying the creative process.
