This pattern is gender neutral in design. The sock is as masculine or feminine as the yarn you choose to knit with. Instructions are both written and charted. A pair of socks is completed with one 100g skein of fingering weight yarn. We suggest a light tonal colourway to show off the intricate pattern stitches.

For the experienced knitter this is an intuitive cuff down sock pattern. This pattern is knit using the heel flap technique. It is worked using a single 100g skein of fingering weight yarn.

It was a cool evening when I was thinking I needed to have a pair of thick socks on my feet and the question came up “Why don’t we see more DK weight sock patterns?“ The reply cam back rather quickly, “Because you can’t find DK yarn with nylon in it very easily.”

Whether it be that I am waiting for an appointment or a plane or on the highway in the passenger seat, socks are a great project to keep handy. They are usually completed with ...

Our sample was knit using RavensWood Fibre Co’s hand painted “Dance on my Toes” 80/10/10 Merino Cashmere Nylon fingering weight yarn. The beads not only add detail but disguise the natural rift caused by knitting quarter in...

If you’re not from the Canadian prairies, what you may see in the Spring is dirty and brown.
