Take Note Socks by Shannon Squire
What is Being Made
Take Note is a pair of toe-up DK-weight socks designed by Shannon Squire. These socks are crafted to celebrate the back-to-school season, combining practical everyday wear with engaging stitch patterns. The design features a fun, school-themed aesthetic while providing comfortable footwear perfect for both daily wear and cozy relaxation while reviewing notes and studying.
Knitting Techniques Used
This intermediate-level sock pattern employs several key knitting techniques to create its distinctive structure and visual interest. The socks are constructed using the toe-up method, which allows knitters to begin at the toe and work upward toward the calf. The pattern features interesting gusset increase construction, a technique that creates shaping around the heel area to ensure proper fit and comfort. Additionally, the design incorporates a mirror-image ziggy-zaggy eyelet pattern on the top of the foot, adding both decorative flair and textural interest to the finished garment.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches appropriate for sock construction. Key stitches include ssk (slip, slip, knit), a left-leaning decrease worked by slipping one stitch as if to knit, slipping a second stitch as if to knit, and then inserting the left needle into the back of these two stitches to knit them together. The eyelet pattern on the foot incorporates yarn overs and decreases to create the characteristic ziggy-zaggy design. The pattern rhythm is designed to be engaging and meditative, allowing knitters to fall into a comfortable cadence as they work.
Materials and Yarn Weight
Take Note is designed for DK-weight yarn, requiring approximately 175 to 280 yards depending on the sock size being knitted. The pattern was tested using Knitted Wit Victory DK in No. 2 Pencil, a colorway that perfectly complements the school-themed design. Knitting needles in US 3 (3.25mm) are required for this project. A slip marker is also needed to track pattern repeats and construction points throughout the knitting process.
