TESTIMONIALS
“this was a fun and quick knit, and I very much enjoyed it”
“quite fun to knit and interesting looking as a sock :)”

“They fit perfectly […] Having the left and right side instructions right next to each other was easy to read and I could easily check one side against the other. […] my husband has already requested a pair in this pattern for himself […] This was a fun knit, I liked using the per-row instructions so I could more easily keep track of where I was and make the two socks match. This was my first toe-up sock pattern and I had a great time with it.”

“I like it very much. [… liked the design] Very, very, very much.”

“Very easy to follow - thumbs up! […] I felt it was really straightforward and easy to read. Not a lot of “extra” stuff that makes it busy and intimidating, something I keep in mind when recommending patterns to more novice knitters! […] Already plotting my next pair which I just do the cabled slip stitches up the sides…. !! […] Keep up the good work, this is a really cute, original design and a refreshing entry into the mass of sock patterns!”

ABOUT THE PATTERN
Fun to knit, a joy to wear. The Autumnal Socks feature a faux cable leaf motif that runs along the edge of each foot, from the toe to the cuff. It also features a stunning branch motif (using slipped cross stitches) along the inside of each leg, running from the ankle up to the cuff.

The pattern is specifically written with new sock knitters in mind and guides the knitter through the full process to alleviate any overwhelm. I do recommend, however, that you feel confident with working in the round before knitting the socks.

The trickiest part of this pattern is a needle adjustment that is performed after the heel. I’ve included a thorough explanation of the process and a linked tutorial video specific to the pattern to make it an easy transition for you.

All Snickerdoodle Knits patterns include clear, step-by-step instructions and linked video technique tutorials to walk you through the pattern with confidence. I am also available for pattern support if you have questions.
