With their cheerful checkerboard pattern, and a simple repeat, the Coral Sunset Socks are proof that stranded colourworkdoesn’t have to be complicated. They are one of eleven designs featured in Scheepjes Pattern Portfolio Volume 05: Knit Socks with Arcadia. The booklet includes full instructions for knitting socks either toe up or cuff down, so you can follow the method you prefer, and each design is accompanied by stranded colourwork charts. If you’re new to sock knitting, there are plenty of helpful tips, plus QR codes to access video support when you need an extra hand.
Each pair uses two contrasting shades of Scheepjes Arcadia, our soft yet durable sock yarn that delivers beautiful stitch definition and softens more with every wear. Since a single sock takes only 45–55 grams of Arcadia, you can swap the colours around and knit a second pair to make the most of your yarn.
The patterns are written for six shoe sizes, from EU 35 to 47, UK 2.5 to 12, US 4 to 13.
