Wheely socks
Wheely socks present an innovative and stylish addition to your knitting repertoire, featuring a fully reversible design that is knit toe-up in the round. This unique pattern incorporates a small gusset and a short row heel, ensuring a perfect fit and comfort for daily wear.
The Wheely sock design offers flexibility, making it suitable for a variety of yarns including solid, tonal, or vibrant multi-colour options. The striking visual effect is achieved through the use of single purl stitch columns that create a widening spoke pattern, reminiscent of the bicycle wheels I notice during my daily neighborhood walks. Elevating the design, just above the foot and between each section, there is a short textured repeat that brilliantly mimics the ridged texture of a bicycle tire, adding an extra layer of intrigue and uniqueness.
This pattern is part of the expanding Wheely series, which coordinates beautifully with the Wheely sleeve, Wheely hat, and Wheely cowl, allowing you to create a cohesive and fashionable set. The versatility in both foot and leg length makes these socks perfect for using up all your yarn leftovers—knit them as short or long as you desire!
The pattern includes comprehensive written instructions only, making it easy to follow for knitters of all levels.
Sizes: Foot/Leg Circumference approximately: X Small - 14cm/5.5 inches, Small - 16cm/6.25 inches, Medium - 18cm/7 inches, Large - 20cm/8 inches, X Large - 22.5cm/9 inches. These socks are specifically designed to be worn with 1-3.75cm (.5-1.5 inch) negative ease through the foot, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.
Embrace your creativity with the Wheely socks pattern and enjoy the process of crafting your own unique pair of socks while adding a touch of biking-inspired style to your wardrobe!
