Butter Socks
When I’m not knitting, you will often find me waiting for a stick of butter to reach room temperature. This colorwork sock was inspired by my love of baking. It features a simple colorwork chart and a texture pattern meant to emulate the ridge of a knife in butter.
This pattern is recommended for intermediate knitters. This cuff-down sock features stranded colorwork and ladderback jacquard for float management (sizes M & L).
GAUGE & SIZING
Sizing: Small(Medium, Large) for Foot Circumference 8-9”(9-10”, 10-11”
There are long floats in sizes M & L, which may cause tighter knitters to need to go up an additional needle size for the best fit.
INGREDIENTS
Fingering weight sock yarn in MC and CC. My sample used 47g and 13g, respectively, for a size 9 women’s pair.
For the sample, I used locally hand-dyed yarn in Electrum from Luminous Brooklyn and Cornflower from Greenwood Fiberworks

Needles in: - US 1/2.25mm
US 1.5/2.5mm
US 2/2.75mm (recommended for very tight knitters)
