This pattern is the April sock in my Westknits Year of Socks e-book. This pattern is available exclusively as part of the Westknits Year of Socks 2025 e-book. You will receive a new sock pattern update at the beginning of each month until all 12 socks are released by December 2025. The sock patterns will be available to purchase individually in 2026.

Gather a colorful pile of fingering weight sock yarn to knit these scrappy stashbusting socks! The pattern begins with the leg knit sideways in garter stitch short rows. The leg is knit flat and then seamed together, producing several angular short row wedges. Little eyelet stripes provide perfect color popportunities for using small bits of leftover sock yarn. Stitches are then picked up for the cuff and heel flap. The top of the foot is knit flat with more short rows and eyelet stripes. The bottom of the foot is worked in stockinette stitch while being knitted together with the top foot fabric. A final toe is worked in the round to finish these fun sock yarn stashbusters.

Sizes:
1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

Finished Measurements:
7 (8, 9, 10, 11)″ / 18 (20, 23, 25, 28)cm leg and foot circumference. Measurements taken after blocking. These are the measurements of the sock.

Size 3 shown on a size US 13 / EU 47 size foot that has a 10.5″ / 27cm foot circumference. The sock fits with 1.5″ / 4cm of negative ease.

Socks are designed to fit an actual foot circumference of 8 (9, 10, 11, 12)″ / 20 (23, 25, 28, 30)cm. The socks are designed to fit with negative ease. Choose a size with a finished foot circumference measurement that is approximately 1″ / 2.5cm or 1.5″ / 4cm smaller than your actual foot circumference.

Measure your foot around the center part of your foot. For
example, if your actual foot circumference is 9″ / 23cm, then knit Size 2 of the sock. The sock should fit nice and snug on your foot with negative ease.

The lengths of the cuff and foot are easily customizable.

Yardage: Approximately 375 (475, 575, 676, 775)yds / 343

yardage, so you have more freedom with your color choices
and stripes.
