Canoe Socks - Second pattern in my Summer 2025 Mystery Pattern Club: Socks Gone Camping!

Inspiration for this pattern was the nostalgia of a well loved orangey-red canoe, gliding through the water. The possibilities of adventure and exploration…or maybe just relaxation on the water.

Dip of the oars, symmetrical ripples echo out on the surface. Serene with little punctuations of excitement.

Rhythmic 2 x 2 ribbing with cable work between. The pattern emerges over a 12 row repeat. Easily memorized and intuitive. Be sure to have a cable needle or darning needle to assist with the cables. They are two part cables that are quick and easy to knit with the help of the right tool.

This pattern will shine when using yarn that is solid, tonal, lightly speckled or has low contrast variegation! As always, use whichever sock yarn you are excited to use, while being aware that the detail of the pattern may be lost in very busy yarns.

This pattern is Toe Up construction, includes 4 sizes and a gusset and heel flapheel construction.

Yarn for this Club was dyed by Meaghan of Bramble Ridge, be sure to check out her shop for lots of beautiful yarn!
