Woodland socks
The Woodland Socks pattern invites you to explore the joy of knitting in the round, guiding you through the process from the cuff to the toe. This delightful pattern includes not only a comprehensive written description but also detailed charts to accommodate various knitting styles. Whether you prefer using double-pointed needles (DPNs), the magic loop technique, or small circumference circular needles, this pattern is adaptable to your favorite method. For reference, the instructions primarily focus on knitting with DPNs, making it easy for knitters of all skill levels to follow along.
Gauge: Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 30 stitches and 40 rows equaling 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch when knitting in the round (after blocking), utilizing the main gauge needles. For colorwork techniques, the gauge is 30 stitches and 33 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in the round (after blocking) with the specified colorwork gauge needles.
Yarn: This sock pattern was designed using Lana Grossa yarn, which comes in a 100-gram skein with 420 meters of luxurious softness, and consists of 80% wool and 20% polyamide. The suggested colorway requires 50 grams of the main color (MC - green), 3 grams of the first contrasting color (CC1 - beige), and 8 grams of the second contrasting color (CC2 - mustard). However, feel free to select any fingering weight yarn that inspires you!
Notions: You will need main gauge circular needles or DPNs in US size 1.5 (2.50 mm), as well as colorwork gauge circular needles or DPNs in US size 2.50 (3.00 mm). Additionally, gather your knitting essentials such as scissors, stitch markers, and a tapestry needle to complete your project seamlessly.
Techniques Used: This pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques, including the long-tail cast-on, working both flat and in the round, colorwork knitting, knitting and purling, increasing and decreasing, and finishing with the Kitchener stitch. This variety of techniques makes the Woodland Socks not only a practical project for cozy warmth but also an excellent opportunity to enhance your knitting skills!
