Pricing update: I have increased my prices to more accurately represent the work that has gone into the making of my patterns. All my patterns have increased in prices, however my newer designs have increased more than my old ones, as I feel I have learned a lot over the years and the quality of my newer designs is higher. The price listed reflects what I believe is fair for the work put into the design, however I understand that the price increases may be inaccessible to some and am offering some tiered discounts for those that need them.

A “Choose What You Pay” model is available for this pattern, allowing both financial accessibility and fair pricing. The buyer may pay what they are able while still valuing the hard work invested to create this design. Use the codes below in order to pay the price listed after each. Choose whichever price works best for you!

• No Code – Full Price = $11.00 CAD
• PK10 – 10% off = $9.90 CAD
• PK20 – 20% off = $8.80 CAD
• PK30 – 30% off = $7.70 CAD

I also offer a Buy 3, Get 1 Free discount! Add any 4 of my patterns to your cart, and use the code BUY3GET1 to get the 4th pattern free! Note: the free pattern will be the lowest priced pattern.

The Scripey Socks pattern is the same fabulous scrappy/stripey style as the Scripey Sweater!! It is a simple sock pattern with some colourful stripes and purl colour change rounds. The socks are knit top down, with a heel flap and gusset, and a wedge toe. These are knit using the soft, squishy Knitpicks Brava Worsted yarn, or any other DK or worsted weight yarn you can achieve gauge with!

Sizes offered:
-measurement is the circumference around the ball of the foot
X-Small: ~7 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 8.25 inches
Small: ~7.7 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9/9.5 inches
Medium: ~8.5 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 9.5/10 inches
Large: ~9.1 inch circumference (unstretched), can stretch to fit up to about 11 inches

These measurements are based off of my sample piece, yours may vary slightly depending on gauge and tension. Please choose a size where the measurement of the circumference of the ball of your foot falls within the unstretched-stretched range. A rule of thumb that I have seen is that a sock should be made with about 10% negative ease (eg. my foot circumference is 8.5 inches, I would want a sock that has about 7.65 inch circumference), but you don’t need to follow that exactly. The length of the socks is customizable based on your foot length so only base your size on the foot circumference.

Needles required:
US3/3.25 mm 32+ inch circulars for magic loops method (you can also use 9 inch circulars or DPNs if you prefer, though pattern is written for magic loop method)
may need other size needles to meet gauge

Gauge:
23 sts x 34 rows equals a 4x4 inch square/10x10 cm in stockinette after blocking
5.7 sts x 8.5 rows equals a 1x1 inch square/2.5x2.5 cm

Yarn required:
Any DK or worsted weight yarn that you can get gauge with.
I used Knitpicks Brava Worsted yarn (218 yds per 100 g ball) in Silver (cuffs, heel, toe, Contrast Colour/CC) and Brava Minis (54 yds per 25 g ball) in Celestial, Cornflower, Tranquil, Grass and Dublin (body of the sock, Body Colours/BC).

For the body of the sock, I used 5 different colours, though you really could use as many as you like! I think 3-4 would be the minimum number because you want enough that you can alternate between them and have some cool colour combos. These will be termed the Body Colours for yardage estimates. Don’t worry about individual yardage for each colour, you just need to make sure you have enough for the total body yardage.

Yardage required:
X-Small: ~20 grams/44 yards of CC, ~50 grams/108yards of BC
Small: ~26 grams/57 yards of CC, ~60 grams/130 yards of BC
Medium: ~30 grams/66 yards of CC, ~70 grams/151 yards of BC
Large: ~35 grams/77 yards of CC, ~80 grams/172 yards of BC

Yardage is a generous approximation. I have included a fair bit of extra foot length for each size so this should accommodate all foot lengths. If you have extremely long feet, I would go with a little extra yardage just to be safe!
