Vanilla Twist Socks
Put a delightful twist on the classic vanilla sock by marling two light fingering yarns, creating a unique and vibrant texture! This innovative sock pattern invites you to mix and match various components along the way to craft your perfect personalized pair. The construction method involves knitting from the cuff down, featuring a German short row heel that ensures a comfortable fit and a basic wedge toe for easy finishing.
Gauge: 7 stitches x 10 rounds per inch in stockinette; 5.5 stitches x 8 rounds per 2 cm in stockinette.
Yarn: Our sample socks were beautifully knit using two strands of Loops & Threads Woolike yarn, which consists of 85% acrylic and 15% nylon (678 yards/100 grams). This yarn choice not only enhances the durability of your socks but also provides a soft and cozy feel.
When planning your knit, keep in mind that the yardage requirements vary significantly to accommodate different leg lengths. If you opt for shorter socks, you can expect the yardage needed to be on the lower end of the specified range. Conversely, mid-calf socks will require yarn towards the higher end of the range, allowing flexibility in design.
Yardage Recommendations:
- Two strands of light fingering/fingering and lace: 240-400 (350-475, 420-610, 450-700, 590-784) yards / 220-366 (320-435, 385-558, 412-640, 540-717) meters.
