Scandi Socks
Enjoy a 20% introductory discount until February 28th. No code needed!
A little Nordic happiness for your feet! These delightful colorwork socks are the perfect canvas for your leftover yarns, allowing you to mix and match both small and large scraps from your stash. Choose a bright color palette, or go with a neutral one. With five sizes available, you can knit a pair for everyone in the family.
Not sure whether to go bold and bright or soft and muted? You’ll find charts for both color combinations included in the pattern, so you can choose what fits your style best!
Size
1 (2) 3 (4) 5
Finished circumference approx. 18 (19) 20 (21) 22 cm / 7 (7.5) 8 (8.25) 8.75” (These are the finished measurements of the actual socks.)
Choosing the Right Size
To determine which size to knit, measure the circumference of the ball of your foot to select the best fit. These socks are designed to fit snugly, with 1–2.5 cm (0.5–1”) of negative ease for a comfortable yet secure fit.
Modifying for a Custom Fit
If your calf is larger than your foot, you can mix and match stitch counts. For example, you can cast on a larger size for the leg and then decrease more stitches at the gusset to transition to a smaller foot size. For instance, you could start with the stitch count for size 4 and decrease to size 3 at the gusset.
The foot length is fully adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit to your needs.
