This sock is designed with all of my fellow D&D-obsessed fiber artists in mind. The perfect project to work on while waiting for your turn in combat, or keeping your toes warm on the way to a game session.

The socks are knitted top-down from cuff to toe, beginning with a 2x2 ribbed cuff, stockinette in the round, and stranded colorwork. (Colorwork sections only require you to work with 2 colors per row.) The heel consists of a slipped stitch ribbing heel flap, heel turn, and gusset. The toe is shaped by decreases and then grafted together.

Materials

Needles:

  • 2.5 mm (US 1.5) circular needles

Note: This pattern was designed to be knitted in the round on mini circular needles (approximately 23 cm / 9 inches in length) and 80 cm circular needles using the magic loop technique and instructions are written accordingly, but feel free to adjust for magic loop only or DPNs if that is your preference. If you are using mini circulars, keep in mind that you will need to switch to magic loop or DPNs when reaching the toe section.

Yarn:

This pattern was designed and knitted with Gründl Hot Socks Uni in the colors Weiß (White) and Anthrazit (Gray), and Lana Grossa Meilenweit in 1323 (Red), and requires the following approximate quantities.

  • White: 12 g / 51 m / 56 yds (14 g / 59 m / 65 yds, 17 g / 72 m / 79 yds)
  • Red: 3 g / 13 m / 15 yds (4 g / 17 m / 19 yds, 5 g / 21 m / 23 yds)
  • Gray: 37 g / 156 m / 171 yds (44 g / 185 m / 203 yds, 53 g / 223 m / 244 yds)

The socks can also be made with any other fingering weight yarns that can achieve the correct gauge.
