Product Description
This pattern brings together twisted stitches and cabled twists in a skillful but subtle fashion, offering challenge in the execution but simplicity in visual appearance. Appropriate for a wide variety of light fingering weight yarns in solid or semi-solid tones, this pattern is a versatile addition to your sock drawer.
The pattern instructions include notes for both DPNs and Magic Loop knitters. The stitch pattern is fully charted and makes use of 'twisted' stitches, and includes notes on working the cables and twists without the use of a cable needle. (Strongly encouraged!)
Changes sizing by changing gauge - 34 sts/46 rounds per 4 ins in stockinette stitch for Size S, 32 sts/44 rounds for Size M.
Revival Socks by Glenna C
What is Being Made
Revival is a downloadable knitting pattern for a pair of socks designed by independent designer Glenna C. This intermediate-level sock pattern is crafted using 4-ply yarn weight and is available in two sizes: Small (fitting feet 8–9 inches in circumference) and Medium (fitting feet 9.5–10.5 inches in circumference). The sample shown in the pattern is knitted in Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn in the colorway 'Composition Book Grey'.
Techniques and Construction
Revival is designed as an intermediate knitting project, making it suitable for knitters who have progressed beyond beginner-level sock patterns and are looking to develop and refine their sock-knitting skills. The pattern employs a gauge-based sizing system, allowing knitters to achieve proper fit by adjusting needle size rather than working multiple pattern variations. This approach requires knitters to understand gauge and make intentional choices about needle selection based on their individual gauge swatches.
The pattern uses stockinette stitch as the primary stitch structure. Knitters working the Revival pattern should be prepared to use stitch markers to track pattern sections and a cable needle if cable details are incorporated into the design.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette Stitch – The foundational stitch structure for this sock pattern
- Cable techniques (optional, depending on pattern sections)
Materials and Tools
Yarn: Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn, 1 skein per pair (361 meters / 395 yards per skein). This is a 4-ply weight yarn suitable for fine gauge sock knitting.

Gauge Information
The Revival pattern uses a flexible sizing method based on gauge adjustment. Knitters select their size and corresponding gauge target, then swatch to determine the correct needle size for their tension.
