Moose Tracks Socks - Knitting Pattern PDF

This is one of a set of very easy sock patterns part of the Vanilla Sundae Sock Set - also available together in an ebook for the best total price and bonus vanilla sock guide.

The color and speckles of this yarn and ridges from the texture made me think of moose tracks ice cream! These socks feature a garter stitch rib pattern, and will work great when worked up with speckled, lightly variegated, or tonal yarn! Three children sizes and four adult sizes are included. Includes 3 child sizes and 4 adult sizes. 

Please note this is to purchase the pattern to knit the socks, not the socks themselves. Due to the nature of digital downloads, I cannot offer refunds.

This pattern is also on Ravelry. Pattern has been tech edited and test knitted - thank you to my tech editor, Heather Storta, and my test knitters! Thank you to Bella @ www.bee-creates.com for the wonderful illustrations!

Construction

These socks are knit cuff-down, starting with a 2x2 rib. A single garter ridge is worked after the cuff, followed by the main garter stitch rib pattern for the remainder of the leg and extending into the heel flap. After the heel is turned, the rib pattern is worked on the top of the foot only, ending in another single garter ridge. Toe decreases are then worked and the toe stitches are grafted together.

The heel flap split lines up with the ribbing, and the gusset stitches are picked up and purled in order to create a ridge that further enhances the ribbing lines (video tutorial included on how to pick up and purl stitches, along with a tip of a new-to-me method to avoid those pesky holes in the corner gaps!).
