DK Sweater Weather Socks Cuff Down
The pattern is a collection, of three DK weight cuff down socks, inspired by all the coziness of autumn. Each design is squishy, cozy, and fun! The techniques are adventurous beginner level and each design has been created to be easily remembered for an intuitive, engaging and rewarding knitting experience.
I’ve used an amazing, squishy yarn from Bramble Ridge Hand Dyed Yarn
There are three designs included!
Harvest Socks
Easy, peasy pattern repeat, twisted stitches, and a contrast cuff/heel/toe. These are vanilla plus level, perfect for TV knitting.
Favourite Sweater Socks
Super squishy, with lots of easy texture and a 4-round repeat. Only one round has a cable stitch, and it is easily executed without the aid of a cable needle. Intuitive and fun. Definitely one of those patterns that you’ll find yourself saying “just one more repeat”…until suddenly your sock is finished!
Autumn Leaves
Mock cable and eyelets create a cascade of autumn leaves. Again, this is one of those patterns that once you’ve knit the chart (or written instructions) one time through, you’ll be smooth sailing. And at a 10-round repeat, these beauties are done quick!
All three designs come with a heel flap and gusset heel construction, 5 sizes, and tons of tutorial videos incase you need a refresher on any technique used.
Skills Required
Tubular or German Twisted Cast On, working in the round, knit, purl, slipping stitches, increasing, decreasing, twisted stitches, yarn over, cable knitting, reading charts, kitchener stitch.
