When I think of Lorelai Gilmore, three words come to mind – no, coffee coffee coffee doesn’t count, that’s only one word. Bold, bright, and strong describe this amazing woman, and interesting, fun, loving, and independent are not far behind.

This beginner friendly cuff-down sock pattern captures everything we love about Lorelai Gilmore. It is bright, bold, strong, and full of texture to add a bit of fun and interest for your eyes and your hands. Perfect for any feet and any yarn combination – tonals, speckles, or variegated.

I used about 50g of my colorway “Give Her Coffee and She’ll Go Away” and about 10g of a “Coffee, Coffee, Coffee,” and about 15g of “1,000 Yellow Daisies” mini skein. Testers ranged from 107yd to 120 per sock. 100g of the main color and 20g of a mini should be more than enough for a men’s 10.5 sock at my gauge.

The sock is written on a Size 1 needle, although that could easily be adjusted to create the fabric you enjoy for your socks (keeping in mind that changing the needle will change the yardage needed). Additionally, the pattern is written for magic loop, but there is some information included for a 9” circular or DPN to knit in your preferred method.

The pattern is written for a 56, 64, and 72 stitch sock, but the pattern is a multiple of 8 st repeat (and 16 for the lace), and can be easily adjusted to fit your foot. If you need help adjusting your sock to a different size (for kiddos or bigger feet) I’m happy to help you figure out which size instructions and chart to use. Just send me a message or email at thelittlewolfknits@gmail.com.

You will need yarn, a needle of choice, stitch marker (if not knitting magic loop), tapestry needle to close your toe, and any other sock notions you typically use.

I want this pattern to be accessible to all, so it is available at three different price points - please pay what you can!

TeamMax - $5.00
TeamChris - $6.00
TeamLuke - $7.00

Now grab your coffee, curl up on the couch, light a candle, turn on Gilmore Girls, and get knitting.
