Product Description
Evighet are a pair of fingering-weight toe-up socks with a delicate and timeless stitch pattern that resembles long-forgotten pressed flowers I found between the pages of an old diary. Although faded and wilted, seeing the flowers transported me back in time to the very day I picked them.
A stockinette toe gradually transforms into a stitch pattern with tiny buds surrounded by wavy twisted stitch columns. The heel flap is worked in a variation of twisted ribbing, morphing seamlessly into the main stitch pattern and flowing beautifully into a short twisted-rib cuff.
Evighet socks come in three sizes: 62, 66, and 70 stitches. Right and left socks are identical and can be knit two at a time.
Both written and charted instructions are given for the stitch pattern. The pattern is written with both metric and US terminology.
Gauge: 32 sts × 40 rnds = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette, blocked

Evighet Socks by Susanna Winter
What is Being Made
Evighet are fingering-weight toe-up socks designed by Susanna Winter. This advanced knitting project features a delicate stitch pattern inspired by pressed flowers discovered in an old diary. The design captures the nostalgic quality of faded, wilted blooms through intricate stitch work that flows seamlessly from toe to cuff.
Design and Stitch Pattern Details
The sock construction begins with a stockinette toe that gradually transforms into the main stitch pattern. The central design features tiny buds surrounded by wavy twisted stitch columns, creating a timeless botanical aesthetic. The heel flap employs a variation of twisted ribbing that morphs seamlessly into the primary stitch pattern. The cuff finishes with a short twisted-rib design, maintaining visual continuity throughout the sock.
Both written and charted instructions are provided for the stitch pattern, accommodating different learning preferences and allowing knitters to follow either format.
Sizing and Construction Options
Evighet socks are available in three sizes:
- 62 stitches
- 66 stitches
- 70 stitches
Right and left socks are identical, allowing knitters to work both socks simultaneously using the two-at-a-time method if desired.
Techniques and Stitches Used
This advanced project employs several key knitting techniques:
- Toe-up construction: The sock is worked from the toe upward, providing flexibility in final length
- Stockinette stitch: Used for the initial toe section
- Twisted stitches: Featured in both the heel flap variation and the cuff ribbing
- Wavy twisted stitch columns: The signature element of the main pattern
- Twisted ribbing: Creates structure and elasticity in the heel and cuff
Materials
Evighet is designed for 4-ply fingering-weight yarn, which provides the delicate drape and stitch definition necessary to showcase the intricate botanical pattern. Standard sock knitting needles appropriate for fingering-weight yarn are required.
Skill Level
This pattern is rated as advanced, suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with stitch pattern charts, twisted stitches, heel construction, and toe-up sock methodology.
