Flying Buttress socks

Flying Buttress
A flying buttress is a specific form of architecture most strongly associated with Gothic churches. The purpose of any buttress is to resist the forces pushing a wall outwards by redirecting them to the ground.
This pattern incorporates left and right buttresses, created by a simple 2/1 cable that are repeated on the front and back of each sock, making the leg symmetrical whether viewed from the front, back or sides. The buttresses are edged by a simple baby cable which continues down over the foot.
2 sizes: Womens medium and large

Intertwined Socks

Intertwined socks

This is a variation of the standard lattice pattern, with the intersecting parts of the cable wrapping around each other. For me, this pattern evokes images of the fresh green shoots of spring plants growing and wrapping around each other, as well as the many ways we as people are intertwined with those around us creating friendships, families and memories.
The pattern instructions are provided for two sizes, womens medium and large.

Leafy Lace socks

Leafy Lace sock

Get ready for warmer weather with a light, airy knit! These lacy socks incorporate two different, yet complementary leaf patterns. The main lace panels on the front and back of the leg feature a triple leaf motif. A single leaf pattern trails down each side of the leg and onto the foot.
Both motifs are 12 rows long, making it easy to keep track of your place in the pattern.
One size, womens medium.

Pavillion socks

Pavillion socks

Based on the Pavilion pattern in Barbara G. Walker’s “A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns”, this pattern offers a simple geometric pattern suited for both men and women.
The pattern is composed entirely of knit and purl stitches, making this an easy sock for all skill levels. Beginners will find the pattern easy to follow, while more experienced knitters should find that it holds enough variety to keep things interesting.

Rib and Braid socks
These socks are made up of simple ribbing and a twisted stitch cable design. Overall though, the sock construction requires intermediate knitting skills. Knowledge of sock construction, twisted stitches and cabling without needles is recommended.  The braids are made of 1/1 cables. You may wish to cable without a cable needle for a faster knitting experience.

Styles Court socks

This elegant herringbone pattern is well-suited for both men’s and women’s socks. The firm fabric created by the herringbone motif is balanced by ribbing on either side of the leg which adds enough stretch for a great fit. Perfectly elegant for office wear while still looking great kicking back in casual clothes.

This pattern is knitted top-down with a reinforced slip-stitch heel. The ribbing on each side of the sock continues down the heel for a little added touch of flare. If you prefer, omit the ribbing and continue the plain slip-stitch across the entire heel.

This is a simple 4 row repeat pattern which repeats on the front and back of the sock. It is easy to memorize and perfect “travel” knitting project.

Both charts and written instructions are provided, as well as a link to the wonderful Twisted German Cast On. Helpful tips are peppered throughout the pattern in the sidebars.

Swirl socks
Inspired by a dear friend who convinced me to give toe-up socks a chance, these socks are a quick and satisfying knit. The lines flow into one another, reminding me of swirls of water or ripples on a field of snow on a winter morning.
Based on knitter’s feedback, I’ve added a 2nd heel option. This pattern now contains 2 separate sets of instructions. One for a short row heel and one for a heel flap, using Cat Bordhi’s Riverbed Heel Architecture from her book New Pathways for Sock Knitters, Book One. Used by permission from Cat Bordhi. Both versions have been tested. Each sock knitter will have their own preference as to which heel they use. I’m just offering 2 options for you to choose from.

Trellis and Coin socks

Trellis and Coin socks

Inspired by some richly toned Handmaiden Casbah yarn, these socks were created to do justice to this lovely yarn. I wanted a pattern that was as voluptuous as the Casbah itself. For me, that means bold, stunning cables that capture the eye immediately.
One size, womens medium.

Wrought Iron socks

Wrought Iron socks
 The twisted stitches in this sock give the pattern its name, reflecting the intricacies of old-fashioned wrought iron. To counter-balance how the cabled stitches pull in the fabric slightly, the back of the sock is covered with a simple 4 stitch ribbed repeat. The ribbing is slightly cabled to complement the cabling on the front of the sock.
2 sizes: Womens medium, large
