MATERIALS

  • Size US 1 Needles - 9” circulars
  • Size US 1 Needles - 30” circulars
  • 400-500 yds of fingering weight yarn (100-120g)
  • Darning Needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Scissors

Note: I love knitting socks on 9” circulars. I find them quick and they tend to give me the best results when working in a pattern. This pattern can be easily translated to magic loop or DPN’s if you prefer.

YARN RECOMMENDATIONS

Sample knit with Dyed in the Wool Co.
Yakity Yak 100g in “Nobel”
This pattern looks great in a tonal, solid, speckle or tweed. Lighter colors show off the textures best, but it also looks very rich in a deep jewel tone. It can hold up in a more dramatic speckle, but highly varigated yarns might lose the texture.

GAUGE

32 stitches & 52 rows = 4 inches blocked

SIZING

  • Small/Medium: US women’s 7-9 (60 st)
  • X Large: US women’s 10-12 (72 st)

The eyelet pattern in this sock does give it a lot of stretch. A small/medium should fit most.
