There’s something wonderfully romantic about a petticoat. Layers of soft fabric, a hint of ruffle peeking beneath a skirt, and that little extra swish that makes even an ordinary day feel special.

Petticoat Socks were inspired by that same kind of feminine charm. The vertical texture mimics the gathers of a petticoat while the delicate “buttons” give a pretty little layered ruffle effect. They’re sweet without being fussy, with just enough vintage influence to feel nostalgic.

Pair them with a full, floaty skirt and Mary Janes for a little old-fashioned romance, or let them peek out beneath worn denim and your favorite everyday shoes. Because sometimes, it’s the smallest pretty detail that makes an outfit feel completely your own.

SIZE NOTE: Sock sizing can be customized by adjusting your needle size and gauge. For example, I personally knit the 64-stitch size on 2.25 mm needles for a firmer fabric that fits me best. Instructions are included to help you choose the size that’s right for you.

YARDAGE NOTE: Yardage is not provided, as yarn requirements vary significantly based on foot size, leg length, and individual modifications. When in doubt, it’s always best to have a little extra yarn on hand.
