I love hand knit socks! I wear a pair every single day.

I believe hand knit socks should be accessible to as many people as possible, and devised a new “sock width size” for all of my patterns. My patterns will fit adults with the following measurements:

Sock Width Size: 1 to 10
Foot sizes: US/Canadian Women’s 2 ½ to Men’s 15 ½, EUR 33-51, UK 1-15
Foot width: ranges from Narrow to Extra Wide
Foot circumference: 7 ½ to 12 inches (19 to 30.5 cm)
Foot length to back of heel: 8 to 12 ½ inches (20.5 to 31.5 cm)
Leg length from base of heel: 7 inches (18 cm)

How to determine your sock width size only requires a tape measure and answering a few questions. Once you know your size, you can proceed to the pattern. If you are knitting for someone else and do not have their size, I have a reference to many standard knitted sock sizes too.

There is also a section discussing how to make ankle adjustments when needed.

Most sizes will only require 1 skein of yarn. However, if you are making the larger sizes and adding width for a larger ankle, you may need a second skein.

When I created this design, I was thinking of the changing of the seasons, and brighter days ahead. The yellow color reminded me of the sun, with the cables and twisted knit stitches giving the appearance of the sun’s rays.

The sock is constructed from the toe up with a short row heel.
Both charted and written instructions are provided for the design.

I hope you enjoy this pattern, it has brought a little ray of sunshine into my life.

Happy knitting everyone.
