These socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a 48 round colourwork chart to the leg, followed by a vanilla foot and finished with a short section of stripes before the toe. They are made with a heel flap and gusset and Kitchener stitch to graft the toe - there is a tutorial for this step on my YouTube Channel if you need it.

The pattern is written for 3 sizes, small (UK 5-6), medium (UK 6-7) and large (UK 7-8), but is very easily customizable to fit your own foot. As you’re knitting from the cuff down, you can slip your work over your foot to check the fit of the leg, heel and foot as you go.

Suitable for confident knitters with experience of knitting stranded colourwork and knitting in the round.

I’ve knitted these socks using Drops Nord and Drops Fabel, it’s lovely to work with and very reasonably priced as well as easy to get hold of in balls of 50g. You will need 1 ball of Drops Nord in Ice Blue and around 25g of Drops Nord in Navy, other than that, you’ll need around 10g each of Drops Nord in Deep Ocean, Fog and Lemongrass, and Drops Fabel Pink, Purple and Grey Blue.

Any 4 ply sock yarn will do, however, the gauge I’ve worked to is 32 stitches to 41 rows using 2.5mm double pointed needles - you can use a circular needle and the magic loop method if you prefer.

I have tried to make this pattern as user friendly as possible, but will provide you with my email address when you download the pattern, if you have any issues at all, do get in touch and I will be happy to help.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my listing, if you have any questions before purchasing, do get in touch.

Happy Knitting! x
