Oy With the Poodles Already Socks - Knitting Pattern

When I think of Lorelai Gilmore, three words come to mind – no, coffee coffee coffee doesn’t count, that’s only one word. Bold, bright, and strong describe this amazing woman, and interesting, fun, loving, and independent are not far behind.

This beginner friendly cuff-down sock pattern captures everything we love about Lorelai Gilmore. It is bright, bold, strong, and full of texture to add a bit of fun and interest for your eyes and your hands. Perfect for any feet and any yarn combination – tonals, speckles, or variegated. I used about 50g of my colorway “Give Her Coffee and She'll Go Away” and about 10g of a “Coffee, Coffee, Coffee” and 15g of a "1,000 Yellow Daisies" mini skein. Testers ranged from 107yd to 120 per sock. 100g of the main color and 20g of a mini should be more than enough for a men’s 10.5 sock at my gauge.

The sock is written on a Size 1 needle, although that could easily be adjusted to create the fabric you enjoy for your socks (keeping in mind that changing the needle will change the yardage needed). Additionally, the pattern is written for magic loop, but there is some information included for a 9” circular or DPN to knit in your preferred method. The pattern is written for a 56, 64, and 72 stitch sock, but the pattern is a multiple of 8 (or 16 in the lace) stitches, and can be easily adjusted to fit your foot. If you need help adjusting your sock to a different size (for kiddos or bigger feet) I’m happy to help you figure out which size instructions and chart to use. Just send me a message or email at thelittlewolfknits@gmail.com.

You will need yarn, a needle of choice, stitch marker (if not knitting magic loop), tapestry needle to close your toe, and any other sock notions you typically use.
