THE IMBER SOCKS WERE DESIGNED USING A CLASSIC HOUNDSTOOTH PATTERN to celebrate the return of Cozy Season!

This trio will be the perfect companions on leaf-crunching walks through piles of fallen leaves, or fireside feet warmers when you settle in with a mug of hot tea and a mystery book (or
your latest WIP!).

The colorwork chart is easy to memorize, making these socks an interesting, but soothing knit. If you’re newer to colorwork knitting, keep this important tip in mind to help you achieve well-fitting socks: It’s all about tension! Keep your tension nice and loose as you carry your strands. Pull too tight, and your fabric will pucker, resulting in a sock that’s too snug. Follow this link for a colorwork tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efb2e_s3Vs8&t=235s

One quick note on gauge: I am an EXTREMELY tight knitter (which is probably related to my constantworrying about everything!) I routinely get 9 sts to the inch on colorwork. As a result, my socks often fit a little too tight! You should have no problem getting a well-fitting sock knitting your standard sock size, even if your gauge is looser than mine!

IMBER SHORTIES

MATERIALS
• MC: Approximately 80 - 120 yards of fingering weight
sock yarn (I used Filcolana Arwetta 954 “Light Gray”).

sock yarn (I used Goosey Fibers sock “Smackeral of Wonder”).

yarn (I used Qing Fibre sock “Nassau”).

• US Size 2 (2.75 mm) knitting needles
• A tapestry needle for weaving in ends

SIZES

IMBER STRIPES

MATERIALS
• MC: Approximately 140 – 180 yards of fingering weight

• CC: Approximately 160 – 200 yards of fingering weight
sock yarn (I used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool in “Ghost
Ranch”). Note: This yarn is listed as sport weight, however
I found it to be fairly comparable to fingering weight. There
are lengths where the yarn is slightly thicker, but overall, it
made gauge easily!).
