The Halfsies Socks are cozy, quick, and easy socks that are all about color play! These socks are worked flat using very simple intarsia and then sewn together. Don’t worry if you’ve never worked intarsia or sewn socks before - I have video tutorials to walk you through it!

These socks are totally customizable, with unlimited possibilities for how you can knit up your socks. Have fun playing with color and making the perfect socks for you!

YARN:

The sample socks were worked using 2 strands of fingering weight yarn held together, however, these socks can also be worked using DK or worsted weight yarn as long as the correct gauge can be achieved.

The Halfsies Socks were designed in collaboration with Indie Yarn Club, using Happy Feet Merino Sock Yarn (100% Superwash Merino, 400 yds/365 m per 100g skein).

Colorways used: Tunicate, Acerbic, Golden, Superfuture, Neon Coral, Pale Peach, Grace, Baby Mint, International, Inkpot.

YARDAGE:

Because these socks are so customizable, exact yardage will depend on the yarn you use, your gauge, foot length, leg length, and any modifications or customizations that you make. Each pair of kids socks will require 90-250 yds/82-229 m of fingering weight yarn. Each pair of adult socks will require 350-700 yds/320-640 m of fingering weight yarn. If you’d like to use DK or worsted weight yarn, divide those numbers in half. Each section of each sock uses very little yardage, so these socks are perfect for using up leftover yarns!
