Spindle and Spell Socks

Designed in collaboration with Bad Sheep Yarn, the Spindle & Spell Socks feature an all-over lace design that incorporates simple small cables (or twist stitches), eyelets, and seed stitch for beautiful, engaging texture. Knit cuff-down, the construction features an eye of partridge heel that adds both durability and a striking design accent. A double gusset provides arch shaping, allowing the sock to hug snugly to the contours of your foot for a better fit along the sole. The pattern includes directions for a wedge toe, though this can easily be substituted for your preferred toe shape. Graded to five sizes to fit children through adults, the pattern includes construction tips alongside both written and charted instructions to help you achieve the best possible fit. Photo and video tutorials are also included to support you through the stitches and techniques. **Pattern details:** * Fingering weight yarn * Knit cuff down * Beginner-level lace knitting * Two colors * Heel flap with double gusset construction for arch shaping * Written and charted instructions * Photo and video tutorials **Needles & Notions:** * Size 1.5 US/2.5 mm 9” circulars, dpns or circular needles with a cable long enough for magic loop. * 1 beginning of row marker * 3 stitch markers * Darning needle * Appropriate additional needles to knit the toe (needles will vary based on knitting technique used). **Yarn:** Recommended: Bad Sheep Yarn Fingering weight yarn* (462 yds per 100 g skein) Size 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) MC: 212 (245, 278, 310, 343) yds/194 (224, 254, 283, 314) m CC: 61 (70, 79, 88, 98) yds/56 (64, 72, 81, 90) m Yarn usage will vary if you do not meet gauge as indicated in the pattern.
