Linear Socks
The Linear Sock pattern features wide panels of knit and narrow grooves of purl that gently curve around the heel. Enjoy crisp lines and graceful shaping in this top-down pattern to keep your feet cosy and warm.
Uses 4 ply / sock weight yarn and comes in four size options.
Gauge: 32 sts x 40 rows in a 10 cm / 4” square of the Linear stitch pattern.
(Linear stitch pattern = K6 (7, 8, 9), p1; rep from to end).
The sample was made using Zealana Cozi 4 ply / sock weight yarn (58% merino, 22% nylon, 15% brushtail possum down, 5% baby alpaca / 50g / 170m / 186 yds per ball) in sugar. 2 (2, 2, 3) balls.
Zealand Cozi yarn is quite heavy for a sock yarn (the gauge on the label is 28 sts per 10cm / 4” in stockinette st, but it feels hardwearing and warm) so if your first swatch is giving you a gauge closer to 36 sts in the Linear stitch pattern, then I’d suggest making a sock size larger than your intended finished size rather than adjusting your needle sizes otherwise your fabric might be too loose. I added an extra size in the grading to give you more flexibility there.
You’ll also need 3 stitch markers, a yarn needle, tape measure and cute little scissors.
To be worn with approx 2-3 cm / 0.75-1.25” of negative ease. Sizes are designed to fit feet ranging from 19-28.5 cm / 7.5-11.25” when measured around the widest part of the foot.
