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.

You know how ribbed socks really are the best socks (shhh, it’s a secret, don’t tell lacy socks I said that)? How they fit perfectly and are so comfy to wear and are super soothing to knit? But you sort of want something a little zingier to really hold your attention? Well these might just be the perfect pair!

The lattice work at the top is lovely and fun (and just fancy enough that you feel clever doing it), and the ribbing is comfy and shows off all your beautiful yarn perfectly. The combo makes for a sock that is fun to knit and easy to wear (even if your intended sock target insists on fairly sedate socks).

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).
