Product Description
Gettin Ziggy With It was inspired by the zig zags I was seeing in one of my children's books. I just knew it had to become a sock design. I love having the zig zags in the middle of the sock with simple cables on the side.

Gettin Ziggy With It Socks by Twin Stitches Designs
What Is Being Made
Gettin Ziggy With It is a downloadable knitting pattern for socks designed by Twin Stitches Designs. This pattern creates fitted socks available in three sizes: Women's Small, Women's Medium, and Women's Large, with foot circumferences of approximately 6.7 inches (17 cm), 7.5 inches (19.1 cm), and 8.5 inches (21.5 cm) respectively. The socks are worked in the round using fingering weight yarn, making them ideal for everyday wear with a comfortable, snug fit.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting pattern designed for beginners, making it an excellent introduction to sock knitting. The pattern employs fundamental sock construction techniques including a long tail cast on, working in the round, and a traditional heel turn. The cuff features a classic ribbed texture created through alternating knit and purl stitches, while the main body is worked in stockinette stitch. The heel turn uses standard decreases to shape the heel cup, ensuring a well-fitted sock that contours to the foot.
Stitches Used
- Knit stitch (K): The primary stitch forming the stockinette stitch body
- Purl stitch (P): Used in the ribbed cuff pattern
- Knit through the back loop (K1tbl): Creates texture in the cuff ribbing
- Slip stitch (Sl 1): Used at the beginning of rows for a neat edge
- Decrease stitches (Ssk and P2tog): Used during the heel turn to shape the heel
- Stockinette stitch: The main fabric stitch used throughout the sock body
Materials and Gauge
This pattern requires fingering weight yarn, specifically 100 grams of yarn plus 20 grams of a contrasting color mini for the cuff. The sample was knit using Playful Day Yarns in Juniper 02 sock kit, a blend of 75% Superwash Merino and 25% Nylon with 463 yards per 100 grams. This fiber composition provides durability and easy care, making these socks practical for regular wear. Knitting needles should be US 1 / 2.25mm or sized to achieve the correct gauge of 34 stitches and 48 rounds per 4 inches in stockinette stitch (unblocked). Additional notions include a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and a cable needle for any cable work. The pattern uses 56, 64, or 72 stitches depending on the chosen size, all cast on using the long tail cast on method.
