Stay Cozy House Socks are all about ultimate comfort. At a DK / light worsted weight, these socks will keep your feet warm & cozy on a chilly day.

This pattern features texture stripes of varying rib stitches – emphasized by the use of Suri or mohair held together with the main color, at alternating sections. Stay Cozy House Socks are worked from the cuff-down with a heel flap and gusset and are designed to be knit in two strands of fingering weight yarn, held together throughout. The addition of a single strand of Suri or Mohair further emphasizes the “stripe” design of the varying rib stitch patterns, while also providing extra warmth, durability and maximizing the cozy factor!

Sizes 1 (2)
Approx 7.25 (8.75)” / 18 (22) cm foot circumference. Intended to fit with negative ease of 0.5 – 1.5” /
1 – 4 cm. Finished length of sock should be approx. ½” / 1.25 cm shorter than actual foot length.

Suggested Needles & Notions

  • US 5 / 3.75 mm needle or size needed for gauge (main needle)
  • US 4 / 3.5 mm or one size smaller than main
  • DPNS or circulars in both sizes listed, per preference for small circumferences
  • Spare circular needle or waste yarn to hold stitches
  • Distinct BOR marker + 2 additional markers

Gauge Information
22 sts / 30 rnds per 4” in stockinette stitch, worked in the round on size US 5 / 3.75 mm (measured post blocking) in MC.

20 sts / 28 rnds per 4” in stockinette stitch, worked in the round on size US 5 / 3.75 mm (measured post blocking) in MC + CC together.

Note: The difference in gauge between the MC only sections and the MC + CC sections helps to emphasize the hi-lo “stripe” effect, however if you prefer a snugger fit it is suggested to size down to your smaller needle to work the MC + CC together sections.
