These socks are knitted from the cuff down, with a simple flower colour work motif, reinforced heel and kitchener stitch to graft the toe. The pattern is writtin for 3 sizes, small (UK 5-6), medium (UK 6-7) and large (UK 7-8), but the pattern is very easily customizable to fit your own foot. As you’re knitting from the cuff down, you can slip your work over your foot to check the fit of the leg, heel and foot as you go. Suitable for beginners with some knitting knowledge (casting on, joining in the round, stranded colour work, kitchener stitch - there is a video tutorial available for this step).

I’ve knitted these socks using Drops Nord 4ply sock wool, a super soft sock yarn with a 45% alpaca content, lovely to work with, and very reasonably priced as well as easy to get hold of. You will need 1 ball each of Old Pink, Lemongrass and Fog as well as a small amount of yellow sock yarn or embroidery thread for the centre of the flowers which are worked as French Knots.

Any 4 ply sock yarn will do, however, the gauge I’ve worked to is 32 stitches to 41 rows using 2.5mm double pointed needles - you can use a circular needle and the magic loop method if you prefer.

I have tried to make this pattern as user friendly as possible, but will provide you with my email address when you download the pattern, if you have any issues at all, do get in touch and I will be happy to help.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my listing, if you have any questions before purchasing, do get in touch.

Happy Knitting! x
