This is pattern #2 in the Autumn Adventures Sock Club. It will be available for purchase on Ravelry for the first 48 hours after the pattern release and only be from my pattern shop.

An Important Note on the Yarn Recommendation: The yarn in the pattern has not been released to the public yet which I wasn’t aware of when I chose it for this pattern. It is supposed to be released later in the week and will be linked appropriately.

In September, as the leaves start their transition, turning into shades of red and gold before descending, the forest canopy develops gaps. These gaps are formed not only by the falling leaves but also by the dropping pinecones. This stretchy lace pattern serves as a homage to the pinecones scattered on the ground during the fall season.

gauge: 7.25 stitches/inch on 2.25 mm (US 1) circular needles.

sizing: 1 (2,3) - which fits a foot circumference of (unstretched) 8.4 inches (9 inches, 9.5 inches) around.

When choosing a size, focus on your foot circumference rather than the length of your foot.

yarn: Since this is a lace pattern, I strongly suggest tonals, semi-solids, and solids. It knits up very similar to an MCN base yarn and I’d recommend one of those as a suitable substitute.

materials:
-US 1 (2.25) circular knitting needles (or size needed to get gauge), I recommend at least 32 inches (my preferred length). You can substitute DPNs and 9-inch circulars for circulars as well and I’ll show you how.
-100 grams of fingering-weight sock yarn.
-Stitch marker or locking stitch marker (optional)
-Ruler or measuring tape.
-Darning needle.
-Sock blockers to photograph your socks once you’re done! (optional).

notes: This pattern is written for magic loop, but can easily be changed to DPNs. Use 2 needles for N1, and another 2 for N2. If you’re using 9-inch circulars, there will be notes throughout to guide you.
