A swirl of clouds, so soft, so light,
Resting on my cup so white.
Golden foam, a velvet crest,
Cradling warmth, my soul’s request.

A gentle sip, so smooth, so bold,
Liquid silk in hands I hold.
Tiny bubbles dance and play,
Chasing all my dreams away.

Oh, frothy peaks of creamy bliss,
A morning hug, a midday kiss.
With every sip, my heart takes flight,
Lost in froth, pure warm delight.

The Frothy Coffee Socks are knitted cuff down. The leg of the sock has a pretty, simple to follow pattern, which I designed to resemble froth on the top of a creamy coffee. The foot is knitted in stocking stitch, so these socks will fly off your needles and are sure to become firm favourites.

The Frothy Coffee Socks are knitted using a slip stitch, heel flap and gusset construction, and my Swirl Toe, but feel free to substitute your own particular favourites.

The pattern is suitable for beginner knitters through to more experienced knitters. I would recommend using tonal / semi-solid / solid or a lightly speckled yarn to define the texture pattern.

This is a written pattern (without charts).
