Note: Yarn estimates are based on a sock foot length of 22 (24, 27, 29)cm / 8 1⁄2 (9 1⁄2, 10 1⁄2, 11 1⁄2)“. You may need more or less yarn depending on foot length. For the best fit, knit socks 1cm / 1⁄2” shorter than actual foot length.

Gauge: 27 sts & 30 rounds = 10cm / 4” over stranded colourwork on 3mm needles, after blocking.

Needles: 3mm / US 2.5 knitting needles suitable for working small circumferences in the round Always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.

Notions: 4 stitch markers (including one unique for beginning of round), scrap yarn, tapestry needle

Notes: Thulite are worked from the top down in all-over stranded colourwork, with large, bold blocks of colour on the front and back. The background colour changes once per side, which creates a dramatic patchwork effect when viewed from the side. The socks also feature half-twist ribbing and a mock short-row heel. The DK-weight yarn is knit at a dense gauge to make a thick, cushy fabric. Make sure to keep floats loose and catch floats every 3 sts to keep colourwork tension even and for a comfortable fit (so you don’t get your toes caught). The sample is knit with yarn C held dominant throughout all colourwork sections. Some knitters may find it helpful to place markers between each motif repeat for the charted colourwork section. All slipped stitches are slipped purlwise unless otherwise noted. Some knitters may find they need to go down a needle size to achieve gauge for the heel and toe sections.
