Tweedy Buds Socks
The Tweedy Buds Socks are all about first signs of spring: flowers shooting out fresh, neon colors out of robust, tweedy (back)ground.
SPECIAL OFFER: buy 2 get 15% off or buy 3 get one FREE discount applies in your cart automatically.
The socks are designed in mosaic knitting which uses only knit, purl and slip stitches.
It’s a very easy way to create a colorwork pattern while only holding one strand of yarn at a time.
The pattern is very easy to memorize.
Tweedy Buds Socks have toe-up construction and a boomerang heel. Instructions are for magic loop technique but can be adapted for DPNS.
SIZES
S = 48 sts (M = 56 sts) L = 64 sts (XL = 72 sts)
Finished sock circumference:
S 18cm/7” (M 21cm/8”) L 24cm/9.4” (XL 26cm/10”)
Knitted socks are intended to have 1-2 cm of negative ease –it means that your finished sock is going to stretch just a bit on your foot but not as the factory made socks. Take your time to get measurements and knit the gauge.
GAUGE
28 sts x 40 rows in PATTERN on a 2 mm (US size 0 / UK size 14) needle = 10 x 10 cm (4” x 4”)
NEEDLES
2 mm (US size 0 / UK size 14) sock needles of your choice: DPNS, short circulars or long circular for Magic Loop (min.100cm/39”) or other size you need to obtain the gauge.
I knit rather loosely and usually take needles a size smaller than recommended by the yarn brand. Probably a lot of you would take the needles a size bigger than mentioned above to obtain the gauge (the size recommended by the yarn brand).
MATERIALS
60–100 gram /250–420 meters / 260-428 yards in total (incl. 10-20 gram / 40-80 meters / 42-85 yards of each two contrasting colors) of any fingering weight / 4 ply sock yarn of your choice. Yarn amount depends on the size, foot and leg length you are about to knit.
