Just peachy pumpkin sock set
Current promotion: Add 4 Stone Knits patterns to your cart and the 4th pattern will be free!
The Just peachy pumpkin sock set has two options for two different pairs of fun colourwork socks for you to knit and wear. Initially inspired by juicy peaches on warm sunny days, the cute round orange-coloured motifs on these socks are addictive and simple to knit. After knitting my first pair, I realized these socks could easily be adapted to look like pumpkin socks too and so two charts are included in this sock pattern. A peach version and a pumpkin jack o lantern version also. Both versions will look great on you or your loved one’s feet, even on cooler, less peachy days! Or for celebrating all things pumpkin for Autumn too.
These socks are knit from the cuff down with a 2 x 2 ribbed cuff, have a no wrap short row heel and have a stranded colourwork pattern throughout the leg and foot. The toe is finished with Kitchener stitch. This pattern uses the magic loop circular needle method (but can be knit with 9 inch circulars or dpns).
