Saesenthessis is the name of a dragon in The Witcher universe (books, video games and tv series coming soon to Netflix). This cuff-down mystery sock was created for the Solid Socks Ravelry group Knit-Along for the months of December 2018 through January 2019. There were 4 Clues which are now available in one file.

Happy Scrappy Mitts are worked from the wrist to fingers with a thumb gusset. This pattern came about because I wanted to use every inch of my Rainbow Felici but didn’t have enough for another pair of socks or complete pair of mitts. You can use any number of leftover sock yarns for this pattern. The below yarn amounts are a breakdown of the ya...

Radiating from the book was the light

This mystery sock is a charted, cuff-down slipped-stitch colourwork pattern, which uses two yarns in single row stripes along with slipped stitches in order to create a design. This technique is actually quite simple, but can create a very complicated-looking design. If you can read a chart, do 1/1 cables and slipped stitches, you can make slip...

Sometimes you just need rainbows in your life! This past birthday I decided it was one of those days and to finally do something with the Rainbow Felici I had been preciously guarding in my stash for years. It took me 8 tries to make the self-striping yarn work with a colourwork chart, but it was worth it!

A delicately-cabled bavarian travelling stitch sock pattern, worked from the top down with a dutch heel flap and gusset, and two toe options (patterned and stockinette). These socks are suitable for knitting two at a time.

Zoey is a toe-up slipped-stitch colourwork sock design inspired by the Fortnite “skin” (playable character) of the same name, which was in turn inspired by the racers in the Sugar Rush game from the animated movie Wreck It Ralph.

Akebia Quinata is a lovely climbing plant, also known as “Chocolate Vine”.

Mind Flayer is a toe-up slipped-stitch colourwork sock pattern with a faux heel flap and a standard wedge toe that can be worked to any leg height - ankle, mid-calf, or knee-high. This design was originally inspired by the insidious dark smoke monster from season 2 of the television show Stranger Things.

Elsoreth is a charted, cuff-down Bavarian style twisted stitch sock suitable for knitting two at a time. It has a traditional slipped-stitch heel flap and standard wedge toe. Elsoreth is charted in 4 sizes: S (M, L, XL) with cast on numbers of 66 (70, 74, 78) for a relaxed upper leg circumference of roughly 18 (19, 21, 23) cm or 7 (7.75, 8.5, 9...

Hela is a top-down sock with twisted stitch cables, inspired by Cate Blanchett’s costume in the Marvel movie Thor: Ragnarok.

Designed as a tribute to my grandfather who passed away on March 12, 2018, at the age of 93 after a long, happy and fruitful life.

Spexture is a simple textured sock I created for a skein of “busy” speckled yarn I was just dying to knit with: a long-ago-stashed skein of Knit Pick Hawthorne Speckle Handpaint. This pattern features ribbing, garter stitch and moss (aka seed) stitch. It should work well with any kind of yarn – solids, semi-solids, speckled or variegated.

Samara and Morinth are a pair of similar sock patterns named after the asari characters in Mass Effect. Samara, the mother sock, is a cuff-down mid-calf sock in 3 sizes, and her daughter Morinth is a toe-up ankle sock in 4 sizes. Both socks feature a fleegle-type heel and a similar charted bavarian traveling stitch design on a stockinette backg...

I’m sure John de Lancie never thought he’d inspire a knit sock design, but here we are! This pattern is a tribute to two very similar characters he’s played on two very different television shows: Q from the Star Trek franchise and Discord from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Both characters are whimsical but powerful agents of chaos, amus...

Charts only, with minimal notes on how I made my pair.

Kalros is the “mother of all” thresher maws (giant sandworms) in the Mass Effect video game universe. She lives on the Krogan homeworld of Tuchanka where she inspired ancient mythologies, fear, and awe. This intricate cable design may be likewise intimidating, but unlike Kalros, it is ultimately conquerable :)

“It took me years to cut this piece of territory out of other men’s hands. It’s who I am and it’s my home. I’m not going anywhere. I won’t let any man take what’s mine.”

Distract yourself from all your woes with this FREE sock design, which was the October/November 2017 Knit-A-Long for the Solid Socks Ravelry group. Join the group to be eligible for prizes and general sock-lover camaraderie!

This unisex cuff-down sock features a simple cable and broken rib design, framed by reverse stockinette side panels, with a rounded toe, ribbed fleegle/strong heel and a “princess sole” - the smooth knit stitches are on the inside, against the sole of the foot. This design was originally inspired by a sweater worn by the character of Alex in th...

Clown Tamer is a slip-stitch colourwork cabled sock pattern, worked from the cuff down, with a standard adjustable heel flap and gusset. It is perfect for taming that ball of crazily variegated yarn (a.k.a. clown barf) in your stash you weren’t sure what to do with.

Mourn the Wicked socks are a tribute to my very favourite musical, Wicked!, and the Gregory Maguire book on which it is based. I chose an Elphaba-inspired green for my pair, but the stitch pattern looks amazing in any solid color.

Elements of Harmony is a cuff-down sock with a fleegle/strong heel, featuring a six strand bavarian cable framed by zigzagging sides. The middle cable is symmetrical both vertically and horizontally, so the charts can be used for a toe-up version (instructions are cuff-down only).

I am a bit of a BBC Sherlock fangirl, so these socks, modeled after John Watson’s Christmas sweater in Season 2, make me ridiculously happy. I decided to share my pattern for free so other fans can also be ridiculously happy.

Escapism is a slipped-stitch colourwork sock pattern worked top-down with a patterned fleegle heel. The effect you see is created by working in single row stripes with two colours of yarn, and slipping certain stitches only on the even rows. This technique is similar to mosaic colourwork, except only one colour of yarn is ever slipped.

Chasing Pavements is a simple cabled top-down sock pattern with a fleegle heel and a short rounded toe. Suitable for adventurous beginners with some cable and sock experience, as well as more seasoned sock knitters.

Snow Lily is a cuff down sock with a patterned fleegle-type heel (no picking up stitches!) and a short rounded toe. These socks were inspired by two warriors from The Elder Scrolls Online, Lyris Titanborn and Sai Sahan. I rarely get sappy about fictional couples, but I found Sai and Lyris’ deep affection and friendship very touching. “Snow Lily...

Diagnified is a cuff-down fraternal pair of socks with a patterned heel flap/gusset and a standard toe. These socks have a bit of everything: lace, cables and texture! Because they require constant stitch shifting, these socks are not suitable for two at a time knitting, but they can be made one at a time on DPNs or circulars in your favourite ...

Cabernet Cabaret is a cuff-down sock with a fleegle-type heel and a geometric twisted stitch pattern. Three sizes are charted: small (70 sts), medium (74 sts), and large (78sts), with a few notes on how to modify for an extra small size (cast on number of your choice). There are two instep options, short and long. The pattern is fully charted.

A quick pair of fingerless mitts to fit an average woman’s hands, 7-8” palm circumference

Raspberry Blossom is a slouchy hat with eyelets and beads, perfect for that one special skein of DK you’ve been saving. Pattern includes both charted and written instructions. You will need 144 size 6/0 beads.

Imladris, East of the Sea is a lace and cable sock pattern inspired by Rivendell from the Lord of the Rings (books, movies, and especially Lord of the Rings Online video game). It features an elvish braid down the back, and waterfall and leaf lace motifs on the front. Includes a modified fleegle heel.

A boomerang-shaped, no-purl garter stitch scarf with a dangly fringe and optional tassels. Instructions will work with any weight of yarn, sample was made with fingering weight.

Chiana is a cuff-down sock with a fleegle heel, inspired by my favourite character from the sci-fi show Farscape. Like its namesake, Chiana is complex and challenging; full of twists, turns and angles. There are traveling stitches on every round and all charted knit stitches are twisted (knit through the back loop). Chiana is a monochromatic ga...
