The Deadwood Socks play with subtle texture to display a spooky tree in a mirrored image across the fronts of both socks. This toe up, heel flap and gusset sock pattern is sized from adult small to adult extra large and contains both charted and written instructions for the right and left socks. These socks were designed in collaboration with Yarnaceous Fibers for their A Haunting We Will Go release.

SIZE
Sizing is based on foot circumference at the ball (the widest part) of your foot

  • Adult small (7”)

You want your sock to have a snug fit. Choose a size that is approximately 1-1.5” smaller than your actual foot. If between sizes, choose the smaller size.

OTHER INFO

  • This pattern is designed toe up with a heel flap and gusset construction, featuring a modified square toe. The TOE, FOOT, and GUSSET are all knit in the round, and then the HEEL TURN and HEEL FLAP are knit flat. For the LEG and CUFF, switch back to knitting in the round.
  • The right and left socks mirror each other, so the TEXTURE charts and instructions differ. There are both written and charted instructions for the TEXTURE for each sock.
