This Pattern is Retired…but you can (probably) get it in November

I have a lot of patterns! But I also get overwhelmed if I have to deal with them all at once. So I’ve picked 12 of my favorites (the Core Collection) to keep around. Then every few months, I decide on a theme or a technique and make a handful of related patterns (the Rotating Collection) available for a little while (then they go away again).

The other patterns are retired and are not generally available. However, because I know some folks will want them, I make many of the retired patterns available for a few weeks every November. If you want me to tell you when they’re back, subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, and I’ll let you know!

• If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available!
• If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, it’s not currently available.
• If you want to hear when the retired patterns are available (most likely in November), subscribe to the mailing list or patreon, or keep an eye on my instagram.

Ever have a colorful yarn that doesn’t want to play nice? That one that looked so amazing in the skein you just had to have it, but then when you get it on the needles you realize it has a mind of its own?

Yeah…well there’s nothing wrong with the yarn, you just need the right stitch pattern to go with it! Stitch patterns that use more yarn on some rounds than on others work wonders for opinionated yarns.

And this pattern, with it curvy lines and adorable little double wrapped stitches is a total miracle worker. Throw your most colorful yarn at it, it will smooth everything out and have that yarn behaving nicely in no time!

Plus I mean it’s lovely and unreasonably fun to do. But I figure you already knew that bit!

They’re written in four sizes (56, 64, 72, and 80 stitch cast ons), and you should feel free to adjust your gauge a bit to fine tune the fit of the sock. Just be sure that you’re working at a gauge that gives you a sturdy sock fabric with your chosen yarn!

I recommend working at something around 7, 8, or 9 stitches per inch, and I’ve included a table to help you figure out what gauge you’ll want to use for the size you need. With that range of sizes and gauges, the socks will fit a foot (measured around the ball of the foot) between 6.75 and 12.5 inches (with lots of points in between).
