Shell Yeah! is a shortie sock pattern inspired by the Canaveral National Seashore. The stitches formed represent the water and waves of the ocean, and the scallop shells found along the shoreline.

Knit cuff down, Shell Yeah! combines classic sock knitting techniques with an easy to memorize stitch pattern, keeping things beginner friendly. Seasoned sock knitters can easily swap out the cuff, heel, and toe for their preferred methods, or add length to the leg section.

SIZES: S (M, L) based on foot circumferences of 8-9” (9-10”, 10-11”) or 20.32-22.86
(22.86-25.4, 25.4-27.94) cm
Please note these are based on foot circumference, not shoe size. Choose a size with 1-2” or 2.5-5 cm of negative ease. The sock will be knit to the length needed to fit your foot.
