Rampant
Are there buy buttons on the side of the page? If so, you've caught this pattern on one of the handful of days every year when it's available! If not, read on for details of where it went and what to do if you want to be notified the next time it's available.
A few years ago I got overwhelmed by my back catalog, retired most of my earlier work, and launched Tiny Nonsense. That gave me space to make Cool New Stuff! But some people missed the earlier things, so I make many of the retired patterns available for a few days once or twice a year.
-
If you see the buy buttons on this page, you’ve caught it on one of the days it’s available! You can buy it just like usual.
-
If you don’t see the buy buttons on this page, then it’s not currently available. It will probably be available the week after Thanksgiving and for a few days in June or July.

Rampant adjective marked by wildness or absence of restraint
I was having a rather challenging week. I was in the middle of massive exams at school, I was doing edits for a book project, and the neighbor’s son had just handed me a tiny sick kitten he found on the driveway of a house down the street.
I had no time to knit. But if I didn’t knit something, I was going to have a breakdown.
So I made these socks. They’re quick and easy but still quite satisfying.
The elongated stitches help coerce even the most pooling-prone yarn into good behavior. The pattern will suit both men and women, and there are three sizes to help you fit almost anyone.
If your life is proving a bit challenging these days, maybe these will help!
The pattern comes in three sizes (54, 66, and 78 stitch cast on) to fit most anyone. And of course you should feel free to adjust your gauge a bit to fine tune the fit of the sock. Just be sure that you’re working at a gauge that gives you a sturdy sock fabric with your chosen yarn. I recommend working at something around 7, 8, or 9 stitches per inch, and I’ve included a table to help you figure out what gauge you’ll want to use for the size you need.
These are perfect for you if:
- You love interesting cables
- You want to wrestle a multi-colored yarn into submission
- You need a little help holding onto your sanity at the moment
They’re not for you if:
- You don’t like charts (the pattern uses charts)
- You hate swatching (you need to swatch to check your needle size)
