The Iris Socks are a “sister” pattern to the Iris Mitts I published in late 2019. They feature a simple and fun cable repeat down the middle panel that creates both a beautiful motif as well as some fun texture. These socks are knit from the cuff down, they feature a honeycomb heel flap and gusset, and are finished with a wedge toe.

Finished Measurements:

S(M,L) 8.5”(9.5”,11”) circumference. When measuring foot, make sure to measure at the widest part of your foot to ensure proper fit!

Suggested Yarn:

200 - 230 yards of fingering weight yarn of your choice. For long term wear, it is best to choose a yarn blend with nylon in it for strength!

Suggested Needles:

US 1.5 (2.5mm) 9” circulars, 32” (for magic loop method) or US 1.5 (2.5mm) DPNs for small circumference knitting.

Notions:

2 stitch markers, weaving needle, scissors, cable needle (optional).

Techniques featured:
knit stitches, purl stitches, slipped stitches, 1/1 cables, heel flap, gusset, kitchener stitch for toe, cuff down sock knitting, picking up stitches for the gusset.
