Meridian Socks by Stefanie Bold
What is Being Made
The Meridian Socks are a classic cuff-down sock design created by independent designer Stefanie Bold. This downloadable knitting pattern offers extended sizing options ranging from XS to XL, with foot circumference measurements from 19.5 cm to 25 cm (7⅝ to 9⅞ inches). The socks are engineered with a negative ease of 15% for a secure, comfortable fit that stays in place during wear.
Knitting Techniques
The Meridian Socks are worked from the cuff down using a construction method that incorporates a hidden gusset. This gusset technique is a traditional sock-knitting approach that creates a reinforced area at the heel and instep, providing durability and improved fit without visible structural lines. The pattern allows for easy adjustment of foot length, making it adaptable to individual preferences and ensuring a customized fit across all size ranges.
Stitches and Stitch Details
The pattern employs cable stitches as part of its design, requiring the use of a cable needle during construction. The gauge specification is notably fine at 34 stitches and 50 rounds per 10 cm (4 inches), which is finer than standard sock knitting gauges. This tight gauge creates a refined, durable fabric suitable for everyday wear.
Materials and Tools Required
- Yarn: 4-ply sock yarn in 100g quantities for sizes XS through M, and 150g for sizes L and XL
- Needles: Double-pointed needles (dpns) or circular needles in size 2mm (US 0), or as needed to obtain the specified gauge
- Notions: 2 stitch markers, cable needle, and tapestry needle for finishing
Difficulty Level
Rated as a beginner-friendly pattern, the Meridian Socks are accessible to knitters new to sock construction while still offering the classic techniques that experienced sock knitters appreciate. The straightforward cuff-down method and clear sizing guidelines make this an excellent introduction to sock knitting.
