> To celebrate the release of the Impasto Socks, enjoy 20% off the pattern through Monday December 23, 11:59 CST, no code needed! **About the Pattern** The Impasto Socks are my first sock design and second collaboration with Rachel of Zeezee Textiles. The stitch pattern used mimics the raised texture of the impasto technique, commonly found in oil painting. It’s a rhythmic, easy-to-memorize pattern that only uses increases and decreases. The pattern is written for magic loop, and it includes both toe-up and cuff-down instructions. The socks are designed with a Fleegle heel and feature a contrast toe and 2x1 ribbed cuff. The stitch pattern is both charted and written. **Sizes** (1, 2) [3, 4] (6, 7.2) [8.4, 9.6] in // (15, 18) [21, 24] cm finished circumference *Suggestions are included in the Notes section on how to modify for a different stitch count, if you are having trouble getting gauge/having fit issues.* **Gauge (measured over 4 in/10cm)** 40 sts x 56 rows in stockinette st, worked in the rnd after blocking **Yarn - fingering weight (includes 10% overage)** MC: one skein (100g) (290, 317) [370, 396] yards OR (266, 290) [339, 363] meters CC: one mini skein (20g) (48, 53) [62, 66] yards OR (45, 48) [57, 61] meters **Suggested Yarn** Zeezee Textiles Silk Sock 80% Superwash Merino, 20% Silk 400 yds per 100g Sample (Size 3 toe-up) used Zorn’s Palette as the MC and Ébauche as the CC. **Suggested Needles** US 1 (2.25 mm) 32” (80 cm) circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge **Notions** Removable stitch marker, tapestry needle **Skills Required** Casting on, knitting, purling, increasing, decreasing, Fleegle heel, Kitchener stitch, binding off
