SOCKS & MITTS
PHOENIX FEATHER SOCKS
The Phoenix is a mythological creature that is known for its ability to rise again out of its own ashes after combusting in a show of flames. Its feathers are valuable and a powerful magical component used in spells and wand-making.
The Phoenix Feather Socks are cuff down socks with a textured leg and a relatively mindless stockinette stitch foot. The heel knits up quickly using German short rows. Choose a (semi-) solid fingering weight sockyarn, and you’ll be on fire!

ALONG THE SHORES FINGERLESS MITTS
by Snickerdoodle Knits
Simplistic to knit, fun to wear. Along the Shores Fingerless Mitts is an enjoyable knit with just a couple of simplistic textures inspired by the ocean. It includes the option to work a herringbone cuff or a ribbed cuff and customization instructions for adjusting the length of your mitts.
The mitts begin with a beautiful herringbone cuff, clearly linked to the herring fish. Then, the majority of the pattern is worked in stockinette stitch to represent the long stretches of sandy beaches. The top of the mitt then features a simplistic and engaging wave motif, and the mitt is finished off with a lovely I-cord bind off representing the sandy dune barriers.

ON THE FARM FINGERLESS MITTS
by Snickerdoodle Knits
Warm, cozy, simple, and fun. The On the Farm Fingerless Mitts are a quick and easy-to-knit DK weight colorwork project, available in five adult sizes.
The On the Farm Fingerless Mitts design references the millions of acres of farmland covering the state of Montana. You look down the rows: clear, straight, and neatly planted. Close to you, the rows are well-defined. You can see the dirt and the stalks. But as you look up and into the distance, the rows start to blend together, becoming a vast sea of green, bushy crops. The colorwork reflects this visually, as the rows of MC gradually fade into the CC as you reach the top of the mitt.

They grow quickly because of the fun, easy to remember and repetitive texture stitches. Choose a (semi-) solid fingering weight sock yarn to let your wings flutter freely!

HIDDEN LOVE MITTENS

This mitten pattern is a fun, simple knit with a heart on each mitten. Because the heart is located on the palm of the hand and is knit in the same yarn as the rest of the mitten, the heart is a hidden gem that’s sure to make you smile. The mittens are interchangeable if you’d like to wear the heart on the outside of your hand instead.

BIRDS FLYING LOW SOCKS / MATALALLA LIITÄVÄT LINNUT
by Tiina Kuu
Birds Flying Low sock design was inspired by
the Finnish artist Vesala’s version of Lauri
Tähkä’s song ‘Tulkoon mitä vaan’. This design was originally named ‘Matalalla liitävät linnut’ in Finnish. The folded cuff can easily be replaced by ribbing. The heel structure can be changed, too; in this design a few extra stitches are added for the short row heel to give the heel more width and depth, thus fitting better for higher instep.
Find them on Payhip.
FIREWOOD SOCKS
by Carlie Perrins
The rich texture of the firewood inspired these cozy cabled socks. Which, it turns out, are perfect for fireside knitting and wearing!
These are constructed toe-up, with a gusset and heel flap. I’ve included both charted and written instructions, as well as a bobble tutorial. The pattern comes in 3 adult sizes.

TESSELATIONS SOCKS
By Karen Hotchin
Knit from the top down, with a twisted rib cuff, these socks have a playful tessellated texture pattern that repeats around the leg and down the top of the foot. Using only knits, purls, and slipped stitches, the texture pattern is easy to memorize, making it a fun project that doesn’t require too much concentration.
The pattern repeat creates a beautiful mosaic-like texture that will keep you interested and the stitches will simply flow off the needles.

FOR THE FRILL OF IT SOCKS
by Katt Weaver
This sock pattern has a simple lace weight frill to take your socks to a fun, frilly, and sassy level.
The pattern has been written to include as many sizes as the new designer could create, hello momma and daughter/sibling/bestie matchy matchy.
This is a super customisable sock recipe (I love to use a garter fish lips kiss heel in mine) and the possibilities are quite endless, they could be knit using all one color, using color blocking, stripes, a pop for your frill, or using scraps for the heels, toes, and ribbing!
