crochet sock pattern

HOW TO CHOOSE A SIZE
For a comfortable fit, these socks are meant to be worn with a 10% negative ease. For
children sizes, the finished foot circumference is approximately 1.3cm/½” smaller than actual
foot circumference. For adult sizes, the finished foot circumference is approximately 2.5cm/1”
smaller than actual foot circumference.
Example: If your foot circumference measures 15cm/6”, your sock size should be 14cm/5½”. If
your foot circumference measures 30.5cm/12“, your sock size should be 28cm/11“. For children
sizes, the sock length should be 0.6cm/¼” shorter than actual foot length. For adult sizes, the
sock length should be 1.3cm/½” shorter than actual foot length.
Feel free to adjust sock height and length for best fit.

CONSTRUCTION
The snofrost socks are knitted from top-down and in the round. The pair features colourwork
motif throughout. The heels are knitted using the afterthought heel technique. The final heel
and toe stitches are grafted together using kitchener stitch.

NOTES
Colourwork chart is read from bottom to top and right to left. You can choose to “mismatch”
the socks as in the samples or knit two identical socks. The colours listed are based on the
sample that starts with colour a. Please remember to swatch to ensure you have the right
gauge before beginning. Stranded colourwork might affect your usual gauge so please
remember to adjust needle size as needed.
