Books and cozy socks just go together. And bookshop inspired socks? Even better. Simple garter rib, like the spines of books on a shelf, adorns these socks, making them the perfect match for all your bookstore browsing and comfy reading needs. Whether you’re making your way through your TBR pile or finding more books to add to it, this pattern is the best accessory.

Sizes
There are four sizes in the pattern: 1 (18cm / 7.25” foot circumference); 2 (20cm / 8” foot circumference); 3 (22.5cm / 9” foot circumference); and 4 (25cm / 10” foot circumference). Note that the sizes listed are measured around the sock, so find your size by measuring your foot and then subtracting 10%.

Yarn and Yardage
The yardage for this sock greatly depends on the length of the leg, but uses approx. 210-420 yards for a mid-calf length.

Notions
Knitting needles (DPN’s or circulars), darning needle, stitch markers, and sock blockers.

This pattern is good for beginners with basic knowledge of cuff down, in the round, heel flap and gusset sock construction.
