Lady Aston Sock

Our good friend Kate Atherley has a new sock pattern. The Lady Aston sock pattern can be purchased on Ravelry.

This sock is worked top down. The patterning combines two of my favourite techniques—cables and lace—to a create a modern and elegant variation on a classic argyle. And because I love details like this, there’s a subtle but pleasing mirroring of the pattern placement on the two socks. 

The design features all of my favourite top-down sock features: a flap and gusset heel for best fit, with a band heel turn. I’ve applied a reinforcement pattern to both the heel flap and the turn, because we don’t just wear out the backs of our heels. And there’s a no-graft toe that fits well and saves you some fuss. 

The pattern is written to be worked on any type of needles: traditional or flexible DPNs, magic loop or two circulars. And I’ve included lots of tips, too! It was originally designed for a mystery KAL, and I’ve kept all the tutorial info in. If you’ve never made a patterned sock before, or even a top-down sock, this pattern will guide you all the way through the process! 

The pattern stitch is written and charted.

I was getting ready to publish this post when I saw something on Twitter from Kate Atherley.
I don’t know how long the code is going to work for so don’t wait. 😀
