Thistle and Weeds

Experience the beauty and elegance of our Thistle and Weeds socks, meticulously designed to be knit from the top down. Featuring intricate lace designs on both the leg and instep, along with a charming picot cuff, these socks are a delightful addition to your hand-knit collection. The use of a solid yarn beautifully showcases the intricate lacework, while the pattern also adapts well to variegated yarns, allowing for creative expression with every pair.

These socks are available in two sizes: small, which requires a 60 stitch cast on, and large, which requires a 70 stitch cast on. This versatility makes them an ideal project for knitters looking to create a personalized fit.

For optimal results, the gauge for this pattern is 9 stitches per inch and 12 rows per inch in stockinette stitch. The sample sock was expertly knit in World of Yarn's "The Knitting Traveler" in the stunning colorway Frozen Rainbows. This particular sample is a size small, fits a 9-inch foot, and used approximately 245 meters (268 yards) of yarn.
