Winter Sweet Socks
Knit from the top down, the Winter Sweet Socks start with mock cable ribbing (no cable needle required!) and festive colorwork reminiscent of sweet winter things: snowfall, ornaments, candy. The heel flap features a mock cable detail, and the toe has just a touch of colorwork to keep it interesting.
The pattern includes two versions of the colorwork charts--one corresponding to the sample and another with inverse colors--so you can easily knit this design using any colors you’d like.
Sizes
1 (2, 3, 4)
Finished circumference (unstretched) of 7 (8, 9, 10)” / 18 (20.5, 23, 25) cm. Designed to fit with zero to .5” / 1 cm negative ease. Leg length: 6” / 15 cm.
Yarn
MC: approx. 250 (320, 395, 480) yds / 230 (295, 360, 440) m of fingering weight yarn
CC: approx. 60 (65, 75, 85) yds / 55 (60, 70, 80) m of fingering weight yarn
Yarn estimates are based on a sock foot length of 8.5 (9.5, 10.5, 11.5)” / 22 (24, 27, 29) cm. You may need more or less yarn depending on foot length. For the best fit, knit socks .5” / 1 cm shorter than actual foot length.
