Bring a little quirk and charm to your knitting with the Tinker Toes Socks, a playful design featuring a robot-inspired motif that’s perfect for anyone who loves fun and quirky knits. ✨

These socks are knit top-down using Drops Fabel (4 ply) on 2.25mm needles, with a gauge of 36 stitches x 38 rows = 10cm in stockinette. The pattern includes instructions for five sizes (XS–XL), making it easy to create a pair that fits just right. A German short row heel ensures a comfortable fit, while contrasting cuffs, heels, and toes let you add your own creative flair.

The repeating robot motif can be knit around the leg or carried down the whole sock, giving you plenty of flexibility to customize your project. Whether you’re looking for a small, fun knitting project, a geeky handmade gift, or just want to brighten your sock drawer with something a little different, these socks are sure to bring joy with every stitch.

Perfect for lovers of quirky knitwear, maximalist fashion, and handmade accessories, the Tinker Toes Socks are a delightful knit that’s as fun to make as it is to wear.
