Spexture is a simple textured sock I created for a skein of “busy” speckled yarn I was just dying to knit with: a long-ago-stashed skein of Knit Pick Hawthorne Speckle Handpaint. This pattern features ribbing, garter stitch and moss (aka seed) stitch. It should work well with any kind of yarn – solids, semi-solids, speckled or variegated.

Instructions are both charted and written.

There are 4 sizes available: Small (Medium, Large, XL) with cast on numbers of 52 (58, 64, 70) and a relaxed leg circumference under the cuff of approximately 18 (19, 20, 21) cm or 7 (7.5, 8, 8.5) inches when blocked. The sock should fit more or less like a plain stockinette sock, but has extra stretchiness and should accommodate the largest of calves. However, you may wish to add a gusset at the centre back for a more even fit down the leg. Notes on adding a calf gusset are included.

Thank you to my patient test knitters for their efforts and attention to detail :)
