$8.50

Unveil the captivating world of knitting with Chipper – a harmonious blend of timeless elegance and modern charm. With its classic feather and fan motif gracefully adorning both the instep and back of the leg, this pattern is destined to be your next knitting masterpiece.

The undulating waves create a rhythmic dance of texture and style, evoking a sense of tradition while embracing contemporary design sensibilities. The motif, meticulously crafted stitch by stitch, adds depth and visual interest, making these socks an eye-catching accessory for any occasion.

Worked in the round, Chipper offers a seamless knitting experience by providing both cuff-down and toe-up written directions, catering to your preferred knitting style. Additionally, a clear and concise chart for the pattern stitch is included, ensuring that you have all the tools you need to create these beautiful socks.

While the pattern comes with instructions for a short row heel, it’s designed to be adaptable to your personal preferences and unique feet. We’ve even included links to alternative heel techniques, so you can choose the one that brings you the most joy in your knitting journey and fits your feet.

With multiple sizes thoughtfully incorporated, you can easily achieve the perfect fit for yourself or for the lucky recipient of your handcrafted socks. This pattern truly embraces size diversity, making it a wonderful option for a wide range of individuals

The pattern is written for the magic loop method for knitting socks; however, the design could be worked on double-pointed needles or mini-circulars instead should you prefer (ensure you denote your instep stitches with extra markers – so you don’t miss the placement of the heel or toe shaping).
