Product Description
'Peter' was the second pattern in my Miss Potter Sock Club.
Peter lived with his Mother and 3 sisters in a cosy home underneath a large fir tree. Peter was an extremely mischievous rabbit. He was told not to go into Mr. McGregor's garden - so of course, he did !
He ate far too much there, and was chased by the very angry gardener.
This design was inspired by Peter's adventures in the garden. The stitch pattern shows the naughty rabbit's paw prints, as he hops through the rows of vegetables.
The design is extremely versatile and will work well with a variety of different yarns.
The stitch pattern is fun and fast - just like Peter !
Peter Socks by Kay Jones
What is Being Made
Peter is the second pattern in the Miss Potter Sock Club collection, designed by Kay Jones. This knitted sock design draws inspiration from the mischievous adventures of Peter Rabbit in the garden, featuring decorative stitch patterns that represent paw prints as the rabbit hops through vegetable rows. The socks are designed to be versatile and work well across a variety of yarn types and weights.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters with some experience beyond the basics. The pattern uses 4-ply yarn weight, which is a standard fingering weight that creates a refined, fitted sock. The stitch pattern employed is described as fun and fast to work, reflecting the playful nature of the Peter Rabbit character. The design demonstrates how stitch patterns can be used to create visual storytelling within a functional garment.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The primary stitch structure is stocking stitch, which forms the foundation of the sock fabric. The decorative element features a specialized paw print stitch pattern that runs through the main body of the sock, creating the visual narrative of Peter hopping through the garden. This combination of basic and decorative stitching makes the pattern engaging while remaining manageable for intermediate knitters.
Materials and Gauge
The pattern requires approximately 400 yards of fingering weight yarn in the main color, plus an additional 90 yards of contrast yarn for the heels and toes. The recommended gauge is 36 stitches and 48 rows over 4 inches (10 centimeters) in stocking stitch, measured after washing and blocking. This gauge specification ensures proper fit and drape of the finished socks.
Pattern Format
Peter is available as a downloadable PDF pattern for personal use, designed by independent designer Kay Jones. The pattern is part of the Miss Potter Sock Club collection and includes all necessary instructions for completing this intermediate-level sock project.
