Crossing Lines

A pair of socks with a rich, vibrant appearance. The variegated yarn adds depth and movement to the colorwork, while the contrasting pattern gives the overall design structure and a sense of calm. The motifs flow seamlessly across the foot and leg while the heel grabs the decreases giving the sock a sturdy and cozy feeling
The socks look sturdy and warm, with a clear handmade charm. These are not “quick” socks but socks you knit with care and wear with pride or give as a gift. They tell a story of time, patience, and the joy of making.
YARN
330 (380, 430, 480) yards of fingering weight/sockweight yarn
Sample uses Handprint by Céline BFL sock (100 grams/365 meters) in color Let’s get Muddy as color A and Durable Soqs in colour 2172 Cream (50 grams/210 meters) as color B.
For all sizes: 1 main color (100 grams) and 1 contrast color (50 grams) are enough. Keep in mind that making the socks longer or having a different gauge might result in more or less yardage being needed.
GAUGE
30 stitches and 46 rounds = 4”in stockinette stitch, knit in the round
When checking for gauge please knit as to how the pattern is designed. For example, if the pattern is knitted in the round you want to make your gauge swatch knitted in the round as well.
NEEDLES
Using size US 1.5 (2.50 mm) or one size smaller than gauge needles for the cuff, heel and toes and US 2 (3 mm) or any size to obtain gauge for the color work.
