Celebration time.

This design originated while sitting around the table at my LYS with some of my friends. The conversation went…we need a pair of socks for July 4th…and they need to be red, white and blue…and we need stars, stripes and fireworks. A few moments later, this wonderful colorway by Twin Mommies was brought over and I casted on.

The design is worked directly into the sock and then I really wanted to make them extra special, after all it is a Celebration. I pulled out a small amount of undyed sock yarn and back stitched the design. Wow, it was the perfect touch.

As like my other sock patterns, I believe hand knit socks should be accessible to as many people as possible and devised a new “sock width size.” My patterns will fit adults with the following measurements:
Sock Width Size: 1 to 10
Foot sizes: US/Canadian Women’s 2 ½ to Men’s 15 ½
Foot width: ranges from Narrow to Extra Wide
Foot circumference: 7 ½ to 12 inches (19 to 30.5 cm)
Foot length to back of heel: 8 to 12 ½ inches (20.5 to 31.5 cm)
Leg length from base of heel: 7 inches (18 cm)

How to determine your sock width size only requires a tape measure and answering a few questions. Once you know your size, you can proceed to the pattern. If you are knitting for someone else and do not have their size, I have a reference to many standard knitted sock sizes too. There is also a section discussing how to make ankle adjustments when needed.

Most sizes will only require 1 skein of the superwash yarn. However, if you are making the larger sizes and adding width for a larger ankle, you may need a second skein.
The sock is constructed from the toe up with a short row heel.

Both charted and written instructions are provided for the design.

I hope you enjoy this pattern. I cannot wait to see how you celebrate.

Happy knitting everyone.
