Afternoon Tea

Step into a world where teatime transcends the ordinary with our Afternoon Tea sock pattern. Inspired by the whimsy of the Mad Hatter’s iconic gatherings in Alice in Wonderland, this pattern is a testament to the magic of knitting. Intricate cables dance alongside delicate eyelets, weaving a tale of curiosity and imagination right onto your needles. As you knit, you’ll embark on a journey reminiscent of Alice’s own adventures, where the mundane transforms into the extraordinary. Each stitch is a tribute to the extraordinary, a whisper of the fantastical, and a reminder that within the realm of knitting, there are no limits to what you can create. Let your imagination run wild as you bring Wonderland to life, one stitch at a time.

Worked in the round, Afternoon Tea 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).
