Hyacinth Socks

Welcome Spring with open arms with the Hyacinth Socks. Inspired by the magnificent blooms and enchanting story of Bridgerton, these socks will keep you wanting more as you slip stitch your way through each flower. This pattern uses slip stitches to create the flower motifs and is a wonderful way to showcase mini skeins or use up your own leftover stash of yarn! **Yarn:** The pattern uses approximately 350yds/320m of fingering weight yarn in total. You can use as many different contrast colours as you like to create the socks, and each stripe will use around 2g of yarn across both socks. The sample shown uses 1 x 100g skein and 6 x 10g mini skeins of fingering weight yarn from Moonglow Yarn Co (75% Merino, 25% nylon) (463yds/423m per 100g). The contrast colour yarns featured are the Moonlit Lilac Collection consisting of the following colourways: Blue Bonnet Bloom, Hydrangea Haze, Periwinkle, Moonlit Lilac, Wisteria Whisper, Bejeweled. **Recommended Needle Size:** 2.25mm (US Size 1) or appropriate size to obtain gauge. The pattern is written for the magic loop method, but can easily be adapted for using DPNs. However, due to the nature of the slip stitch pattern you may wish to use 1 needle size larger than your usual size for socks. This is because slip stitch patterns are not as stretchy. **Gauge:** 32 sts / 42 rows = 4 inches (10cm) in stockinette stitch. **Sizes:** Small (Medium, Large). Length is customisable. Finished Measurements: Small – 56 stitches (7 inch circumference) Medium – 64 stitches (8 inch circumference) Large – 72 stiches (9 inch circumference)
