Five O'Clock Shadow Mens Socks
What Is Being Made
The Five O'Clock Shadow Mens Socks is a knitted sock pattern designed by Sharon Mooney, created to fit adult men with ankle circumferences up to 10 inches. This downloadable PDF pattern provides complete instructions for crafting a pair of classic men's socks using traditional knitting techniques.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project uses knitting as its primary craft method. The pattern is classified as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for knitters who have progressed beyond basic techniques and are ready to tackle sock construction with more refined shaping and finishing details.
Knitting Stitches and Construction Methods
The Five O'Clock Shadow Socks are constructed using stockinette stitch as the primary stitch pattern. The pattern employs double pointed knitting needles for circular knitting, which is the traditional method for sock construction. This technique allows knitters to work in the round without seams, creating seamless socks from cuff to toe. The pattern includes decreases for shaping the sock structure to ensure proper fit and form.
Yarn and Materials
The recommended yarn for this project is Schoppel Wolle "Crazy Zauerball," a high-quality blend consisting of 75% Virgin Wool and 25% Nylon. One skein of approximately 420 meters (100 grams) in color 1507 is required to complete the socks. The nylon content provides durability and elasticity, essential properties for sock yarn that will withstand regular wear and washing.
The pattern calls for a set of four size US 2 double pointed knitting needles, which are appropriately sized for working with 4-ply yarn weight. Additional materials include a split ring stitch marker for tracking pattern repeats and a yarn needle or large embroidery needle for weaving in ends and finishing.
Gauge and Sizing
The pattern specifies a gauge of 7.5 stitches and 10 rows per 1 inch worked in stockinette stitch on a circular gauge. Achieving the correct gauge is essential for ensuring the finished socks fit properly and have the intended drape and elasticity.
