Garden Gate Socks

Garden Gate Socks

“When the world wearies and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden.” – Minnie Aumonier
 
 
The vibrant colors that Ellie (Alive With Purpose) chooses to dye her yarns with always make me smile and remind me of beautiful flowers in a garden. Combining these happy shades with the simple twisted stitches and cables in this pattern made me think of wrought iron gates surrounding a joyful flower bed. I hope that you also find joy and comfort in knitting this pair of Springy socks as the world begins to wake up outside, the flowers begin to bloom, and the sun shines brighter and longer with each day.
 
The pattern includes variations for both toe-up and cuff-down options and uses a short-row heel along with a standard wedge toe, but feel free to substitute your favorites as needed. This pattern is written for 6 sizes: Baby – Adult Large.

    The needle size listed is the needle size I regularly use, but I am a very loose knitter so you may need to go up 1-2 needle sizes to get a fabric that you like. Most knitters do well with US size 2 (2.75 mm) & if you are a tight or newer knitter you may want to try a US size 3 (3.25 mm). If you know your standard needle size for sock knitting, use that instead of what I have listed (the size that gives you gauge).

    Make sure that your beginning of round marker is different from your other markers so you can tell the difference. Locking markers are recommended .
