All About the Pattern
The Sock A Day Socks Pattern was developed on Bumblebee Acres Farm to make a thick, durable sock to wear in your winter boots, while getting cozy with your knitting, or to fight off cold toes in bed!
The design has been reworked several times, in several different yarn weights, to create for you a sock that is easy enough for beginner sock knitters, and is super fast to knit! These are the perfecting gifting socks, and have been a stable during any occasion at Bumblebee Acres Farm, being gifted lovingly from knitter to wearer. They create beautiful, cozy socks, and they work up in a flash!
There are THREE OPTIONS (3 patterns in one!) for creating your Sock A Day Socks- Vanilla, Ribbed, and Broken Rib. All three are quick, easy knits that follow the same basic design, with the only difference being the stitch pattern on the leg and top of foot and the differences in Negative Ease it creates (how snuggly it fits). There are also guidelines for knitting your socks with both worsted and DK weight yarns!
So, grab your needles, your favorite drink, and let’s cozy up and whip up a sock!
Yarn:
DK Version:
100 grams approx.
Recommended yarn: Bumblebee Acres Farm’s Squishy DK, or Bumblebee Acres Farm’s Squishy Sock held two strands together to make a DK yarn.
Worsted Version:
100 grams approx.
Recommended yarn: Bumblebee Acres Farm’s Coquette Sock, held two strands together to make a Worsted Yarn. Yarn with 15% or more nylon is recommended for durability.
Note: Yarn amounts suggested for socks with an 8” leg and a maximum shoe size US Women’s 10. Larger feet, use 200 grams of MC.
Suggested Bumblebee Acres Yarn:
Squishy DK
Coquette Sock (held double)*
Squishy Sock (held double)*
Butter Sock (held double)*
Bubble Sock (held double)*
Spun Sugar (one strand) with one strand of any sock yarn!
* Holding yarn double helps spread out color pooling- a great way to use a variegated yarn and see less pooling in your project!
Needles & Notions:
DK Version: US 3 Needles
Worsted Version: US 4 Needles
Sock Ruler or Measuring tape
Optional: Progress Keeper and Stitch Markers if using small circumference circular needles.
Sizing and Gauge:
Top Down socks are great because you end them when you reach the size you want!
If using worsted weight yarn, use US 4 needles, if DK yarn use US 3. Cast on a multiple of 4 stitches, my recommended number of stitches for cast on for each option is in the pattern!
If you are a known to be a very loose knitter, consider casting on 4 less stitches than recommended.
