Eyre

These socks were inspired by my beautiful edition of Jane Eyre. The cover has an intricate pattern in white and green and I just had to see if I could create some socks with this pattern. These stranded socks will keep your toes warm when you spend a rainy day inside with a book.

Gauge is 9 stitches per inch and 9 rows per inch in pattern (colorwork) and with bigger needles. Gauge is 9 stitches per inch and 11 rows per inch in stockinette with smaller needles.

Because of the patterning these socks are only available in a 70-stitch cast on. To change the size of the socks you could go up of down a needle size or use a heavier or lighter yarn.

Materials needed: • 150 meters (164 yards) of fingering weight yarn for main color. • 200 meters (220 yards) of fingering weight yarn for contrast color. • 2.5 mm (US 1.5) double pointed or circular needles. • 2.75 mm (US 2) double pointed or circular needles. • Tapestry needle.
