Sonya Socks

The Sonya Socks are knitted with fingering weight sock yarn on 2.5mm needles (US1.5).
This pattern is written as a toe-up sock with a split gusset, Eye of Partridge heel, and a 2x2 rib folded cuff with a ruffle accent. The Sonya Socks are inspired by the tender resilience of Dostoevsky’s Sonya Marmaladova, a character who bears sorrow with grace and soft beauty. The delicate texture and feminine frills make these socks perfect for curling up in a library with a book or curled beneath a blanket with a new cast-on. SIZES (APPROX), MEASURED AROUND MID-FOOT • Small 6.5"/16.5cm unstretched, 8"/20.25cm stretched • Medium 8"/20.25cm unstretched, 10"/25.5cm stretched • Large 9"/22.75cm unstretched, 11"/28cm stretched MATERIALS 100g 2-ply sock yarn. Any yarn that yields the correct gauge should be suitable. My sample uses Emma’s Yarn Practically Perfect Sock Yarn in the shade Sprout. GAUGE 30 sts x 44 rows per 4" (10 cm) square, measured over stocking stitch in the round. A note on the gauge: If you are a tight knitter, or you have a tighter gauge when doing cables or knit-purl texture, size up. Since the leg is knit with all-around cables, it will be tighter than the foot, and you risk not being able to get the sock on. NEEDLES AND NOTIONS • 2.5mm/US 1.5 circular needle (or whatever size is necessary to achieve gauge), 32"/80cm • Stitch markers x 2 • Tapestry needle for weaving in ends This pattern has been test-knit.
