Walking in Nature Socks
Thank you so much for everyone’s support of the PRIDE Socks ebook during June 2020, we were able to donate $300 to The Trevor Project!
This pattern is available for purchase in the PRIDE Sock ebook with all 8 other patterns of the collection!
In the original rainbow Pride Flag created in 1978, there were 8 stripes that each had a specific meaning, the green stripe represents Nature. This sock is filled with fun textured cables that give it a life of its own and reminds me of a walk in nature. This pattern contains written, charted, and video instructions.
Sizing
Choose the size that gives you 1-2” of negative ease.
Sizing is based on the circumference of the foot, not the length. To figure out the length of foot you need to knit, use the row gauge to calculate the number of rounds you will need to knit for your foot size subtracting 1.25”(1.25”,1.5”) for the toe, or try your sock on as you go!
S(M,L) – Circumference 8-9”(9-10”, 10-11”)

100 g fingering weight yarn.
Suggested Yarn
Bad Amy Knits, Astroturf, Sock Base: 80% Superwash Merino Wool/ 20% Nylon 400 yards, 100 g.

I am a tight knitter and I’ve found that most knitters match my gauge by sizing down one needle size from my recommendation.
