The Summer Sweetness pattern is a charted slip-stitch mosaic pattern consisting of an 8-stitch repeat. The sock pattern is written for toe-up socks using magic loop with an afterthought heel; however, the pattern can be converted into a cuff-down pattern knit on magic loop and the heel can be substituted.

The pattern is written for the sock knitter who has familiarity with the construction of a sock but has not attempted to introduce colorwork to a sock pattern.

The pattern is written for three sizes, stitch count for the smallest size will be outside of the parenthesis, the medium size will be the first value inside of the parenthesis, and the large value will be the second value inside the parenthesis. Example: S (M, L)

Finished size (approx.): S (6.2”), M (7.1”), L (8”) foot circumference.

Please keep in mind that socks require a snug fit because they stretch over the course of wear, therefore you want the finished sock measurement to be 10% less than your measured foot. circumference.

Yarn: Fingering weight yarn (2) 40-gram skein of both colors MC and CC1 and 1-10 g skein of the 3rd color CC2. If you choose to use 2 colors, (2) 50-gram skeins of yarn can be used.

The sample sock (medium) was knit using 28 g of (CC1), 7 g of (CC2) and 30 g of (MC). Yardage may vary slightly based upon length of sock and color selection for heel, toe, and cuff.

Needles: US Size 1 2.25mm or any size needle needed to meet gauge requirements for the pattern. The pattern is written for the Magic Loop Method and a cord length of 32” or greater is recommended.
