Socks in Regia Alpaca Soft - R0341

What is Being Made

This downloadable knitting pattern produces a pair of socks designed by the REGIA Designteam. The socks are available in three sizes: 38/39, 40/41, and 44/45, making them suitable for a range of foot dimensions. The pattern includes instructions for creating two identical socks using the same techniques and materials throughout.

Yarn and Materials

These socks are knitted using REGIA PREMIUM Alpaca Soft, a 4-ply weight yarn that combines softness with durability. Each 3.5 ounce (100 gram) ball contains 339 yards (310 meters) of yarn. The recommended color is 00020 (camel meliert), which features a mottled or heathered appearance. One ball of yarn is required to complete the project. Knitters should purchase enough yarn of the same dye lot to ensure consistent color throughout both socks. The pattern calls for one set of size 3 mm double-pointed needles and a blunt yarn needle for weaving in ends.

Knitting Techniques and Stitches

This beginner-level pattern employs fundamental knitting techniques suitable for those new to sock construction. The sock is worked in the round using the four double-pointed needle method, which distributes stitches evenly across needles to create seamless circular knitting.

• Ribbed Cuff: The sock begins with a ribbed pattern worked in rounds for 4 centimeters, creating an elastic cuff that holds the sock securely on the leg.
• Stockinette Stitch Leg: Following the cuff, stockinette stitch (St st) is worked in rounds for 16 to 17 centimeters depending on size, creating a smooth, classic fabric for the leg portion.
• Boomerang Heel: The heel is constructed using a boomerang heel technique, which transitions from working in rounds to working back and forth in rows. This method creates a reinforced heel section that withstands wear and provides a comfortable fit.

Pattern Overview

The pattern provides clear instructions for the smallest size with color-coded notations indicating adjustments for larger sizes. When only one measurement or instruction is given, it applies uniformly across all three sizes. This structured approach makes it accessible for beginners while accommodating multiple fit options. The downloadable PDF format allows knitters to reference instructions easily while working on their project.
