Variations on a textured theme, the Lynton and Lynmouth sock pattern gives you the option to try two different style socks and techniques; choose from the short Lynton sock which starts from a folded picot cuff and uses a short row heel and toe, or knit the longer legged Lynmouth sock featuring a heel flap and gusset with shaped toe. Both patterns are included in this single download, and the lace pattern instructions are both charted and written.

GAUGE
32 sts and 48 rows to 10cm / 4” over stocking stitch worked in
the round on 2.25mm needles after blocking.
1 pattern repeat at widest point of 10 sts = 2.5cm / 1” square.
Take time to check your gauge and adjust the needle size
accordingly to ensure an accurate finish.

TOOLS
• 2.25mm (UK 13 / US 1) knitting needles suitable for working
small circumferences in the round
• Stitch markers
• Tapestry needle

PATTERN NOTES
• The stitch count fluctuates as you increase and decrease for
the cluster stitches, so only count stitches after completing
round 6 or 12 of the chart.
• Where only one number is given, this applies to all sizes.
• Left and right socks are worked identically.
