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:
$6.00
You’ll need a paypal account in order to buy the pattern. After you purchase the pattern you’ll get an email from e-junkie with a download link to the file. The e-junkie email will go to the primary email address on your paypal account.
Special thanks to all the test knitters for this pattern! There are even a few single socks out and about - be sure to check out Naiad Kitty and Pikku Kettu’s completed socks.
Ironwork Socks Errata
Please contact me (kelpknits at gmail dot com) if you would like me to update an expired download link.
- Fixed in Version 1.1 (10/19/07):
- Heel Flap. Row 1 and Row 3 should be swapped.
- Key. The second-to-bottom symbol should be, “Place one stitch on cable needle. Ktbl, ktbl. K stitch on cable needle.” - Fixed in Version 1.2 (10/20/07):
- Turn Heel. Row 1 should be, “Sl1, K17 [19, 21] sts, ssk, k1, turn.” - Fixed in Version 1.3 (10/22/07)
- Instep Chart - All sizes. The following stitches should be purl (rather than knit): column 2 and 32 [36, 40], rows 8-10. This isn’t an error per se, but I think the edge stitches look better this way. - Fixed in Version 1.4 (10/24/07)
- Instep Chart - Large. The following stitches should all be ssk (rather than k2tog): column 1, row 10 and 30; column 23, row 20 and 40. - Fixed in Version 1.5 (10/28/07)
- Key. The second-to-bottom symbol should really be, “Place one stitch on cable needle. Ktbl, ktbl. K stitch on cable needle.” - Fixed in Version 1.6 (12/23/07)
- Instep Chart - Medium. Row 33, stitch 26 and the k2togs above and to the right of it should all be ssk.

Thanks for posting the eratta. I’m close!
Lovely very lovely. one question before I purchase them, are they toe up or cuff down?
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….
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.
By the way…can these be made toe-up stylee?
