They are knitted from the cuff down, with a simple beach hut and wave colour work motif, reinforced heel and kitchener stitch to graft the toe - there is a tutorial for this step on my YouTube Channel if you need it. They’re finished with duplicate stitches (or Swiss Darning) to embroider the detail on the beach huts.

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 beginners with some knitting knowledge (casting on, knitting in the round and joining in the round, stranded colour work, kitchener stitch - there is a video tutorial available for this step, Swiss Darning).

I’ve knitted these socks using Drops Nord 4ply sock wool, a super soft sock yarn with a 45% alpaca content, lovely to work with, and very reasonably priced as well as easy to get hold of, you will need around 5g each of Denim Blue and Fog, 10g each of Old Pink and Goldenrod.
The main portion of the sock is worked using Drops Fabel in Shoreline, one 50g ball will be more than enough to complete a pair of socks.

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.
