Gingerbread Socks - English

Gingerbread Socks is a knitting pattern for festive Christmas socks in adult sizes. The socks are knitted from the toe up with stranded colourwork.

For matching children’s socks, check out Gingerbread Socks Junior.

Sizes: EU sizes 38/39, 40/41, and 42/43, for foot circumferences 21.8 cm / 20.5 cm.

Gauge: 32 stitches x 28 rows or 34 stitches x 30 rows depending on foot circumference.

Difficulty level: This pattern requires experience with stranded colorwork. There are many stitches after one another in the same colour in this pattern, so having experience with long floats will be very useful.

Needle suggestions: 3.0 mm or 2.5 mm, but choose the size that gives you the gauge you need.

Yarn Suggestion: The sample socks were knitted in Filcolana Arwetta, but you may use other fingering weight sock yarns in the same gauge.
