Mr. Lockwood

Drawing inspiration from the timeless and iconic dance performed by Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain, allow Mr. Lockwood to infuse vitality into each of your footsteps. Immerse yourself in the captivating charisma and boundless vigour reminiscent of Don Lockwood with every stride you take.

Be it the rhythmic tapping of your toes to the melody of your cherished tunes or the leisurely sauntering through life’s moments, these socks possess the enchanting ability to transport you to the very essence of dancing in the rain. It’s akin to encapsulating a fragment of cinematic history, an emblem of nostalgia and elegance, right beneath your feet.

Worked in the round, Mr. Lockwood contains both cuff-down and toe-up written directions and a chart for the pattern stitch. The pattern has instructions for a peasant heel (afterthought heel using scrap yarn), but you may substitute whatever heel you enjoy using (links included for alternatives).

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).
