San Miguel Socks
This pattern has been retired as of August 31, 2022, and is no longer available on any platform. If you obtain a copy after that date, please know it was not an authorized sale.
These lightweight, cozy socks have an abundance of texture inspired by the striations in the terrain of San Miguel Island, in the Channel Islands National Park. They will fit an average woman’s foot (US sizes 7-9, 8” around), but you can easily adjust by increasing or decreasing the number of repeats you complete. This pattern is written from the cuff downward with a no-wrap short row heel. It is meant to be an easy sock for beginning sock knitters.
