Dotted with purl “cherries,” these cozy socks are perfect for wearing while eating scones or baking the day away.

RECIPE:
This pattern also includes my recipe for cherry scones. The recipe is made with dairy, and includes US and Metric measurements.

Size and Gauge:
• This pattern includes three sizes: 56-stitch, 64-stitch, and 72-stitch, which will fit most adults. To adjust fit, go up or down a needle size based on your preferences.
• Approximately 8 stitches per inch.

Needles:
• I used 2.25mm (US size 1) needles, but please use whichever size of sock needles works for you.
• I used 32-inch-long circular needles for magic loop.

Yarn:
• Any fingering weight (1: superfine) yarn, or sock yarn, that includes nylon will work for this pattern.
• You will need between 200-400 yards, depending on the size you make, and the length of the leg.

The (64-stitch) sample I made used:
• Teenybutton Studio, Soft Sock (fingering weight, 4 ply, 463 yards per 100g skein, 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon), in the colorway “Chantilly.”
• 310 yards, 67g, used

Notions:
• Tapestry needle

Skills Needed:
Perfect for beginners, this pattern utilizes:
• Knitting and purling
• Twisted stitches
• Increasing and decreasing
• Eye of partridge heel flap and gusset
