October Faire Socks

Celebrate the beauty of autumn and the charm of sheep & wool festivals with these delightful cozy socks! This unique knitting pattern guides you through crafting socks from cuff to toe, showcasing a decorative Latvian twist edging that adds a playful touch to the cuff. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, the folksy colorwork motif throughout the design is both simple and engaging, making it an ideal project for beginners as well as seasoned knitters seeking a fun challenge.

The socks feature a modern short row heel construction, specifically utilizing German short rows for a comfortable fit. Our detailed pattern instructions are tailored for knitting with a set of five double-pointed needles, yet they can be effortlessly adapted to the magic loop method*, allowing for flexibility in your knitting technique. This versatile pattern is available in three adult sizes—8, 9.25, and 10.5 inches in circumference—but can be easily modified to accommodate smaller or larger feet by adjusting the gauge. This can be achieved by using different yarn weights and needle sizes, giving you the freedom to customize your cozy sock experience.

GAUGE and SIZE: Achieve a gauge of 30 stitches x 38 rows = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4” when knitting in the round, in stockinette stitch, and stranded colorwork. The finished socks measure approximately 8 (9.25, 10.5) inches in circumference, with both the length of leg and foot being adjustable to suit your preferences.

Whether you’re preparing for a chilly day or crafting a perfect gift for a fellow knitting enthusiast, this cozy sock pattern is the perfect addition to your knitting repertoire. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to create something warm and beautiful that captures the essence of autumn!
