Homestead Socks Lite Cuff Down

Welcome! And thank you for having a look at my latest pattern collection: Homestead Socks Lite To celebrate the pattern release and the holiday season absolutely all my patterns are 50% off!!! Please enjoy from Dec 20 - Dec 31, 2024. And please let any knitting friends who might enjoy my patterns know! No code needed; cannot be combined with any other offer. In the fall of 2024 Meredith of [Sweet Pea and Sparrow](/yarns/brands/sweet-pea-and-sparrow) and I worked on a collaboration of DK weight socks. The requests for the fingering weight version came pouring in, so here they are!! I hope you love these beautifully textured socks as much as I. There are three designs included in the Collection. Sourdough Socks, Root Cellar Socks and Fresh Herbs Socks. All three have been designed to be easily remembered and intuitive, suitable for a wide range of yarn color styles (solid to heavily variegated and everything in between) and popcorn style knitting! Testers have informed me, and I must agree, that the stitch pattern repeats of all three are totally addictive and we have all found ourselves saying, "Just one more...". This collection is constructed Cuff Down, includes 4 sizes, heel flap and gusset heel construction, and charts and written instructions. Happiest of Knitting!
