Just a little bit of texture and lace makes for an engaging yet quick sock project out of this earthy Papiput Yarn. The delicate lace trellis reflects quiet days pottering in the garden, and looks great in a whole range of different colour options!

SIZE
Small: 16.5cm (6 ½“) circumference, fits approximate foot circumference of 19cm (7 ½”), length of 23.5cm (9 ¼”); women’s EU 37–39/US 6 ½–8 ½
Medium: 19cm (7 ½“) circumference, fits approximate foot circumference of 22cm (8 ¾”), length of 25.5cm (10”); women’s EU 40–42/US 9–10

Foot circumferences are measured around the ball of the foot at the widest point and should be used to choose your sizing. Foot lengths are measured from the tip of the toes to centre of back of the heel, and are to be used as a general guide only. For the best fit possible, check all measurements given in the pattern by trying the socks on the intended wearer.

YARN
Papiput Yarn Tough Sock (75% Merino, 25% Nylon; 400m {437yds}/100g), 1 skein Jepara (brown) or Apem (pink) colourway, OR 100g fingering weight sock yarn

Samples used approximately 62g (248m {271yds}) for Small Size pair of socks (women’s EU 39/US 8 ½), and 76g (304m {332yds}) for Medium Size pair of socks (women’s EU 41/US 9 ½). Please note that the yardage requirements will vary depending on the heel option, sock circumference, foot and leg length, and any differences in gauge.

NEEDLES & NOTIONS
–2.25mm (US 1), at least 80cm (32”) length circular needle for working Magic Loop method, double-pointed needles or short 23cm (9”) circular needle, OR size to obtain gauge
–2 removable stitch markers (optional during heel turn {toe-up version}, or for using a different style of needle/method of working in the round)
–Tapestry needle

GAUGE

NOTES
-This pattern is written for both toe-up and cuff down sock construction methods. A compiled pdf with both methods together in the one document is available to download, as well as separated toe-up and cuff down pdfs for your convenience.

-Instructions are written for the Magic Loop method of working in the round with a long circular needle. They are to be worked from the beginning to end of each round unless specified for stitches on first needle (N1; front of leg/top of foot), and second needle (N2; back of leg/sole of foot), separately. If you are using double-pointed needles or a short circular needle, use markers as needed to designate between what will be the front and back halves of the sock.

-You have the option of working either an eye of partridge heel flap with gusset or a short row heel for these socks. The heel flap and gusset option is great for feet with a high instep, or for those who want a decorative heel, whereas a short row heel is shallower and helps to maintain patterning if you are using a self-striping yarn. You will need to know how to work short rows by wrapping and turning for both options.
