There’s something quietly charming about laundry fluttering on a clothesline beside a cozy cottage. Soft colors dancing on the lines, treasured linens sway in the breeze, the view sun-washed and gentle. Clothesline Cottage captures that sweet sense of nostalgia in a pair of socks that is as soothing to knit as it is to wear.

This cuff-down sock pattern begins with a polished 1x1 half-twisted rib cuff and flows into elongated stripes of texture that run gracefully down the leg and foot. A comfortable boomerang heel keeps the knitting engaging while delivering a wonderful fit. Just before the classic wedge toe, a contrasting textured detail adds one final playful touch.

Designed to showcase soft, multi-colored yarns, Clothesline Cottage is a relaxing and satisfying knit with a timeless, storybook feel.

SIZE NOTE: sizes can be customized by changing needle/gauge. For instance, I personally knit 64 stitch socks on a 2.25mm for a tighter gauge that fits me better. Instructions are included for selecting your size.

YARDAGE NOTE: Socks vary extremely from person to person so yardage is really just a guesstimate. Allow extra if you are unsure.
