Hello, I’m Cleo! I love knitting socks and connecting with the knitting community. I’m passionate about supporting beginner knitters on their crafting journey. If you’re a beginner knitter ready to try colorwork, these socks are for you. I named them the ‘Miss Lady’ socks, inspired by my cat Lady, and my love of ladybugs. I believe this pattern will be a comforting and encouraging project that shows you colorwork is totally achievable.

You’ll begin with the cuff, starting with a Cast On, then working a Rolled Hem for a subtle curl, and finishing with a stretchy Ribbed Cuff. As you progress, you’ll knit the Ladybug Colorwork leg of the sock. The pattern then guides you through the classic Heel Flap and Gusset method, concluding with clear instructions for Toe Decreases and a seamless Kitchener Stitch finish.

Pattern Details:
Sizes Available: Small (women’s small), Medium (women’s large, men’s small), Large (men’s large)

Gauge: 8 stitches and 8 rounds = 1 inch in stockinette stitch, knit in the round, after blocking.

Materials Needed:
Yarn: Fingering Weight Yarn (75% Superwash Merino, 25% Nylon)
White: 100g (~360 yards / 330 meters)
Red: 20g (~72 yards / 65 meters)
Black: 10g (~25 yards / 23 meters)
Needles: US 1 (2.25mm) circular needles (9-inch and 32-inch)

I hope the ‘Miss Lady Socks’ become your new staple colorful sock. If you share them online I would love it if you could tag me @stitchedbycleo and use the #MissLadySocks .
