Coffee Break

Nothing beats that first comforting sip of hot coffee in the morning. This sock pattern is dedicated to all of us coffee lovers who could not happily go through the day without a coffee break (or two!). Coffee is not only a warm and comforting drink but energy boosting, in moderation of course! There is something so lovely and simple about the ritual of sitting down with a fresh cup with friends—and, of course, with your latest knitting project to knit a few rows! This pattern creates perfect cozy socks for all coffee connoisseurs. **Construction Notes** Knit from the top down with a ribbed cuff, this sock includes a colorwork pattern on the leg, with a little simple colorwork decoration before the toe is knitted. These socks are knit with an eye of partridge heel, flap and gusset. **Sizing** 1 (2, 3) To fit (foot circumference): 8½ (9½, 10½) inches / 20.5–23 (23.5–25, 26–27.5) cm Leg/foot length can be easily adjusted. **Yarn** Fingering weight, GigglingGecko Socklandia Soxs yarn (80% superwash merino wool, 20% nylon), 398 yds (365 m) per 100-g skein.
