Indie Design GAL: Socks Part 1

This is part of my on-going Indie Designer Gift-A-Long 2016 series, where from November 23rd – December 31st I highlight some patterns from my fellow designers also participating in the event! Each post will highlight at minimum 5 different designers and their patterns.

Don’t forget to join in the fun, we’re all over here chatting up a storm (when our fingers aren’t flying that is).


Couplet by Bonnie Sennott

From the pattern description
Couplet is a top down, “his and hers” sock pattern, with instructions for two sizes and two options: one with lace at the calf and one without lace. Stitch patterns are provided in both written form and charts.

Available in medium and large, uses approximately 365 – 400 yds of fingering weight yarn

Changeful by Hunter Hammersen

From the pattern description
Sometimes something is too much fun to just do once! That was the case for the lovely stitch on these socks. It looks smashing worked as an all over pattern, but it also lends itself to both a more sedate rib and to something a bit fancier.

Available in four sizes, uses approximately 300 – 425 yds of fingering weight yarn

Byerly Socks by Mary E Rose

From the pattern description
The Byerly Sock was designed to be a tasteful entry into stranded colorwork. Using less than 10 yards per band of contrast colors,this cuff down sock can be customized to use those oddments of yarn you have left over from other projects. Use one, two or more contrasting colors to make the sock uniquely your own.

Available in S/M and M/L, uses approximately 380 – 420 yds of fingering weight yarn

Avalon by Allison O’Mahony

From the pattern description
The Avalon Peninsula of the island of Newfoundland is a place where rugged terrain meets unforgiving weather, making wool socks a wardrobe staple year round. Classic colours and a generous cuff add interest to these ribbed boot socks which are fine enough to fit into lightweight hiking boots, but also warm enough for winter.

Available in four sizes, uses approximately 306 – 557 yds of fingering weight yarn

Drunken Sailor Socks by Emily Wood

From the pattern description
The cabled socks are knit from the top down with a heel flap and gusset. Right and left socks are mirror images of each other. Both written instructions and charts are included for the detailed sections of the pattern.

Available in four sizes, uses approximately 350 – 425 yds of fingering weight yarn
