Merlot Vine Sock

A toe-up sock with an asymmetrically placed openwork pattern of leaves, that winds up the foot and around the leg, ending in an eyelet rib at the top edge.

Suggested Yarns: Twisted Fiber Arts Merino Sock, Woolen Rabbit Sock, Briar Rose Grandma’s Blessing, Fearless Fibers Classic Merino Sock, or any sock yarn that knits to 8 sts per inch. A springy yarn with a higher twist is recommended to help sock keep its shape.

Finished Size: 8” sock circumference to fit feet up to 9” around. Sock may be made smaller or larger by using finer or heavier yarn and/or changing needle size.

Yarn requirements: approximately 380 yards of sock yarn for an average female size (actual yardage will depend on sock length desired)

Gauge: 32 sts and 48 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch (fabric will be firm)
Note: row gauge is fairly important as it will affect the pattern placement on the foot

Needles: DPNs size US1 (2.25 mm) or size to obtain gauge
