THE STORY
Island Wood is a gorgeous retreat center on Bainbridge Island in Washington. It has such a special place in my heart that I had to create a simple, relaxing pattern to reflect the joy of my time at the retreat, mixed with beautiful yarns!

MATERIALS

• Knitted Wit Victory Sock (sock weight; 80% superwash merino wool, 20% nylon; 420 yds / 384 m per 4 oz / 113g), 1 skein: ‘Acadia National Park’
• US 1.5 (2.5 mm) 32” / 81 cm circular needle
• Row counter (optional)
• Tapestry needle

FINISHED SIZES
6.75 (7.5, 8.5)” / 17 (19, 21.5) cm circumference (unstretched).
Fit: 1” / 2.5 cm of negative ease is recommended

PROJECT GAUGE
34 sts and 48 rows = 4” / 10 cm over stockinette stitch in the round, taken after blocking

NOTES

• These socks are worked from the cuff-down and feature a Fleegle heel. These socks are identical to one another; make 2 to complete a pair.
• In the case of using double-pointed needles, the Front Needle is synonymous with Needles 1 & 2 and the Back Needle is synonymous with Needles 3 & 4.
• Instructions are given for smallest size with additional sizes in parentheses. When only one set of instructions is given, it applies to all sizes.
• Adjust needle size as necessary to match gauge.
• This pattern is written for the Magic Loop technique. There are no charts.
