This is the pattern for my Spring is Springing Socks. Lovely springtime socks, made with happy, bright colours.

They are knitted from the cuff down, with stranded colourwork throughout, a short row heel and kitchener stitch to graft the toe - there is a tutorial for this step on my YouTube Channel if you need it.

The pattern is written for 3 sizes, small (UK 5-6), medium (UK 6-7) and large (UK 7-8), but 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 confident knitters with knitting knowledge (casting on, knitting in the round and joining in the round, 2 stranded colour work, kitchener stitch - there is a video tutorial available for this step).

I’ve knitted these socks using West Yorkshire Spinners Signature 4ply and Drops Nord sock yarns. You will need approximately 50g each of WYS in Spring Green and Drops Fabel in Pink, as well as 25g of Drops Fabel in Mustard for contrasting the cuff, heel and toe.

Any 4 ply sock yarn will do, however, the gauge I’ve worked to is 30 stitches x 36 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
