Vanillite Socks
Introducing the perfect socks for the dedicated “Pokémon connoisseur”! These beautifully designed socks are inspired by a popular ice-type Pokémon and were created with the help of my son. This intermediate-level knitting pattern features a cuff-down construction, complete with stunning stranded colorwork on both the leg and foot bands. The toe band is designed for extra cushiness and warmth at the ball of the foot, ensuring comfort during wear. The ribbed portion of the sock adds stretchiness, making it easier to achieve a perfect fit—ideal for cozy gift knitting this holiday season!
SIZES: Available in Adult S (M, L): to fit 7.5 (8.75, 10)“ / 19 (22.25, 25.5) cm foot circumference with 0.75” / 2 cm negative ease for a snug yet comfortable fit.
GAUGE: To achieve a stunning finish, you’ll need a gauge of 36 stitches and 44 rows = 4“ / 10 cm in stranded colorwork on larger needles, and 36 stitches and 48 rows = 4“ / 10 cm in stockinette stitch on smaller needles after blocking. This will help you create the perfect pair of socks!
MATERIALS: For this pattern, we recommend using high-quality fingering weight yarn. The socks are showcased in the MC: Yarn Bee Authentic Hand-dyed Tonal, which is 100% Merino wool (100g/3.53oz) with a generous 420 yards / 384 m in the beautiful Spa colorway, accompanied by grey Thread Art Wooly Nylon & CC: Cloudborn Fibers Merino Superwash Sock Twist—80% Merino wool and 20% nylon/polyamide (100g/3.53oz) containing 467 yards / 427 m in a rich Navy hue.
