Ironwork Socks Pattern

Finally, finally, finally! The Ironwork Socks pattern is finished!

The pattern is offered in three sizes (corresponding to cast on amounts of 64, 72, and 80 stitches) but will work with a wide range of foot measurements and stitch gauges:

I erred on the large side for sock measurement to size conversion – the stitch pattern has a similar gauge as stockinette, but a bit less stretch because of the traveling stitches.

I would consider this an intermediate to advanced pattern, as an understanding of knitting charts is required. The pattern contains three charts for each size, one each for the leg, heel, and instep. There are clear instructions on all of the chart symbols and written instructions for the heel turn, gusset, and toe sections.

You can buy it here:

I’ve switched to using Ravelry to deliver the patterns. You do not need a Ravelry account, but you will need to use Paypal to pay for the pattern. After you complete payment on the Paypal website, there will be a link to the pattern download page and you will also receive an email with the download information.

  31. lla - October 26th, 2007 @10:02 am

    Not only do your socks so totally rock – but I swear, I covet every pair a fabulously pointy toed shoes I’ve seen you wear here!

    You’re a goddess….

  32. TallGrrl - November 9th, 2007 @6:47 pm

    These socks rock so hard, I’d make ‘em and wear them with my jeans and some girly-heels to work. And I work pretty much in a construction area. I don’t care.
    PayPal, here I come.

  33. TallGrrl - November 9th, 2007 @6:47 pm

    By the way…can these be made toe-up stylee?
