Ziggle Socks
Are you ready to add a fun twist to your sock collection? These delightful socks feature playful lines that don't just zigzag; they wiggle too! We like to call them "Ziggle Socks!" The vertical stranding technique, combined with simple increases and decreases, creates dynamic stripes that gracefully ascend the outer sides of each sock. This unique pattern is perfect for showcasing speckled or variegated yarns with a strong contrast to really enhance the ziggle effect.
The Ziggle Socks pattern is thoughtfully designed to include Small, Medium, and Large sizes, resulting in comfortable finished circumferences of 7" (17.5 cm), 8" (20 cm), and 9" (22.5 cm) when knitted at the specified gauge. For the best fit, remember to choose your size to allow for 1" (2.5 cm) of negative ease. This ensures a snug and cozy fit, perfect for all-day wear.
For this exciting project, you'll need approximately 400 yards (366 meters) of your Main Color in a sock or fingering weight yarn, along with around 15 yards (14 meters) of a Contrast Color in the same weight. Choosing yarns with a strong contrast will provide the vibrant results you desire and make those ziggle lines pop!
As a bonus, try knitting your sample pair in gorgeous yarns like Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in the enchanting Color in the Clouds, paired with Stunning String Studio Luxury Fingering in the delightful Flirty Bikini. This combination will bring your Ziggle Socks to life with color and creativity!
