Over The Garden Wall socks

Overview This knitting pattern features cozy colorwork socks with little birds perched on a fence, inspired by the autumnal and whimsical atmosphere of Over the Garden Wall. The socks are worked cuff-down in the round using the magic loop method or short circular needles. The pattern includes instructions for 5 sizes for a better fit. Skill Level Intermediate This pattern is suitable for knitters familiar with stranded colorwork, knitting in the round technique. Materials • Fingering weight sock yarn (with nylon/polyamide recommended) Approx. 200–210 m / 50 g (Regia 4-ply, Gründl Hot Socks 4-ply, Lana Grossa Meilenweit) or 170-175 m/50 g (Drops Nord, Sandnes Garn Sisu) or 385 m/100 g (Mondim Rosa Pomar) Yarn quantities: 6 colors – MC (yellow) 50 g, СС1 (light blue) – 15 g, СС2 (black or dark grey) – 10 g, СС3 (orange) – 5 g, СС4 (brown) – 15 g, CC5 (green) – 1 g (50 cm) Needles: • 2.25 mm (US 1) circular needles 60–80 cm for ribbing, heels and toe using magic loop technique (also you can use DPNs) • 2.25 mm (US 1) or 2.5 mm (US 1.5) or 2.75 mm (US 2) circular needles 20–30 cm for main sock pattern. I don’t recommend knitting the colorwork section using DPNs or magic loop technique, as the fabric may not be as smooth and even with these methods. That’s why I suggest using 20–30 cm circular needles for this part. Use a smaller needle size for smaller sock sizes and a larger needle size for larger sock sizes. The exact needle size may also vary depending on your gauge. • Tapestry needle • Stitch markers • Scissors • Measuring tape Finished Measurements Foot length: 1. 22–23 cm (8¾–9") 2. 23–24 cm (9–9½") 3. 25–26 cm (9¾–10¼") 4. 26–27 cm (10¼–10¾") 5. 28–29 cm (11–11½")
