August Socks 2026

We are not used to such hot summers here in the UK so my August sock had to have some airiness about it. A simple 12 row lace pattern dances down the side of the sock with my basic top down pattern fitting it all together. **Difficulty** Straight forward top down sock. The lace is a written pattern and worked over 16 stitches. Written in three circumference sizes just follow Small (S), Medium (M) or Large (L) throughout the pattern. **Materials Needed** 4ply sock yarn, approximately 70g (for a UK size 7 medium circumference) 240 meters / 262 yards - I’ve used West Yorkshire Spinners in Buttermilk Needles: Four 2.5mm double pointed needles Three moveable stitch markers, sewing up needle for grafting and scissors **Sizes** Circumference (the widest part of the foot, all the way around) Small - 19 cm / 7.5 inches - 54 sts Medium - 21.5 cm / 8.5 inches - 66 sts Large - 24.5 cm / 9.5 inches - 72 sts Whilst this pattern has been checked and tested we are all human so if you do encounter a problem please let me know.
