The Malabrigo sock yarn that this pattern is worked in is so soft I never wanted it to end! I used Parade and the contrast is worked in Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids 4ply, in Snow

The pattern itself has a lovely simple rib worked throughout the leg which lends some extra stretch making sure your sock stays put that the pattern doesn’t detract from the loveliness of the yarn. All the while the stripes give the sock a classic sport sock feel.

The Bethany sock is available in 3 sizes:

  • Small US 3-6 - Foot circumference 7”/18cm, foot length 9”/23cm
  • Medium US 6-9 - Foot circumference 8”/20.5cm, foot length 10”/25.5cm
  • Large US 8-12 - Foot circumference 9”/23cm, foot length 11”/28cm

You can always make your sock longer by simply working more rows for the foot.

I use 20cm/2.5mm Addi needles for my socks but you can use your preferred method for the same result whether that is magic loop or DPNs.

Always read through the whole pattern, start to finish before beginning to make sure you have everything you need and fully understand the pattern. But if you do have any questions please just ask. Happy knitting!
