This sock design is inspired by the gorgeous Ginger Snap yarn that was used for the sample. I love that the colours are festive and seasonal, yet not the traditional red and green that are usually associated with the Christmas season.

Also, I love all things ginger-flavoured, so this is a great season for my taste buds!

Ginger Snap Socks are worked toe-up and feature a simple yet impressive dip stitch pattern on the top of the foot and front and back of the leg. This sock features a modified flap and gusset heel construction.

The stitch pattern is both written and charted, and the pattern includes a link to a video demonstration of the stitch used in the pattern.

While I always recommend swatching, I strongly recommend swatching for this particular sock. This stitch pattern results in a fabric that’s quite forgiving and stretches easily, so you may need to choose a circumference 1 size smaller than you would typically choose. Let your gauge swatch be your guide.

Instructions are included for 5 circumferences and foot length is customizable. Instructions are needle neutral so you can use your preferred method of knitting in the round.
